2.0.34pre12 will fix this (it does already but Im still hacking on the two
remaining bugs to very long life high stability kernels . It (and pre11b)
also contain a lot of security fixes. So once 2.0.34 is out

a) The bug is fixed
b) Very few people should be running <2.0.34 once the first brave folk
prove its a solid as we believe it will be
