This should be released as a revision so that all users get the patch and not have to come searching for a resolution.

I agree that 3.2.2-r1 should be released.  The patch is already in files/

Ignore my comment #13.  Reemerging 3.2.2 seems to apply the patch.  Still I think 3.2.2-r1 should be released so people know to upgrade.
