In terms of 1.7.3, which is the scope of this discussion, the only thing that should be relevant is whether this is a significant regression from previous 1.7 releases. If we tolerated the bug for 1.7.0 there is no point in holding up 1.7.3 while we discuss it. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
