Yeah, I kind of wondered if that's where it fit. I do think it's still
something that is needed, especially in older versions. I have
backported my fix into a version I'm using. It can be found at
http://kojiweb.gooselinux.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2442 if anyone is
interested in this fix. I will eventually get around to properly
sending it upstream just to make sure the fix is in place.
