Subject: RE: post 1.7.8-jumbo-7 changes summary
The original patch had problems. The problem was likely only going to be a
performance hit, but a performance hit, none the less. Now, it properly
does init() once, and make sure it DOES do this init(). There is a -v2 of
the patch. That version is a replacement for the original simple patch.
