More importantly, if we would release a binary with this bug active, then 
there should have been a notice in the documentation that this bug exists. It 
is not a good idea to try to hide a bug, there should be a big fat notice 
that says that we know about this issue and that we're working on it.

But this is not important anymore, since the bug now has been fixed (Thanks 
Werner!!)
