does it still apply to 2.4.7 ? iirc this patch went upstream.

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-10-31 22:26:31 UTC]

please get back to us.

I can confirm this issue still exists as of 2.4.8

The patch still works though.

We should consider including it since upstream didn't backported the patch to 2.4 branch
