Thank you, Richard. Between your review and Maciej's thorough testing,
I think we have built enough confidence to put it in. This is for MIPS
only, so the worse case scenario is us making yet another corrective
release (although, 7.7 could be out shortly after 7.6.2).

Maciej, let me know when the patches are in, and I'll work on producing
the release within the next day or two.

Thank you,
