I have no control over whether the distros release a patched 1.4.9; but I
have been delaying the release of 1.4.10 because I was trying to collect
several more bug fixes rather than just this one regression.  The fact
that the break in eval wasn't noticed until nearly a month after 1.4.9 was
released means not too many people have been relying on eval semantics.
