Sorry if I read the history wrong here.  It looked to me like someone
raised the issue of a config file in June 2012, there was a reply
about it a month later in late July 2012, and a ticket filed in
January 2013 (~6 months later) about the problem that caused the June
2012 issue.

Did I miss an issue reported earlier to the Tx team?
