Andriy,

We've been using your patch in production for a while now, it works well
for us.  I've been contemplating including it in the FreeBSD python
port, in fact I mailed this list about it about a week before you did.

At this point I'm trying to decide if the patch should be optional or
not.  We know of no reason to make it optional, do you?
