Yes.  That will fix it.

FWIW... I (and others) were bitten by this.  There was a thread not long 
ago with a few complaining about the change breaking POLA, and possibly 
an explanation as to why it was changed.  However, I can't seem to dig 
it, or anything for that matter, up out of the archives.  Others have 
mentioned the archive search not working well lately... so you might 
wait another day or two and search through the archives for the reason 
why it was changed.
