Can you please post a simple test program, and a procedure to test the
relevant feature before and after the patch? (I cannot run the test
suite on my system.)
In general, I think only safe fixes for grave bugs should go into the
branch. If we still have problems for which such solutions are
impossible, but which are deemed too grave to not solve them in 5.2, it
would mean that the branch was cut too early, and we should consider
canceling the branch and starting the release cycle anew.
