*Eek*. I've already done that, I needed to do it for a client of ours. And let me tell you, hacking a 1.2.8 patch into 2.0.0 wasn't much fun :)
The patch as stands has been running in my home machine now for about two weeks without any problems, and accounts perfectly (I think).
If you'd like a copy of the patch (or you'd like to yell at me for hacking and not sharing :), just drop me an email at ankh@canuck.gen.nz (please don't use the ankh@iconz.co.nz address for Linux stuff).
