Got an upstream link?

yeah, you need to provide real details

Well, not my bug, but:
the commit: https://bitbucket.org/pierrejoye/gd-libgd/changeset/3ea283efcdaf

Though I'm not sure if that's the proper upstream.
OTOH, I can't google anything better.

yes, that is the official upstream repo.  so urls to that are sufficient.

ive added that patch to gd-2.0.35-r3 ... thanks !
