I think Daniel has run into this problem more than anyone else, so 
hearing it's fixed for him makes me feel a lot better that it's been 
resolved.  I'd characterize this problem as a medium grade data 
corruption issue.  It's not security issue bad that it needs to be 
released tomorrow, but a backbranch release of at least 9.0/9.1 that 
includes it would be a big relief for people nervous about this.  I'd 
hate to see that slip forward to where it gets sucked into the holiday 
vortex.
