Great, I'm glad that was good enough for you.  There's a real fix
committed here:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=patch;h=c0aa210f6ebab06ca3933c735c7c6d2b8bdd024e
but since you expressed some discomfort about patching source before,
it's probably best if you just work around it till we put out new
releases.
