Whilst I don't dispute that this patch addresses a serious issue,
it is in no way an urgent fix -- the issue is already 7.5 year old,
so a couple of week delay isn't going to change the world. Also,
the system does work without this fix, so I'm quite confident
leaving it for 5.7.

But thanks for this email anyway, as it reminded me that although
I had picked that patch for 5.7, I didn't apply it just yet. This
is now fixed, and the patch should be picked up by -next shortly.

Thanks,

        M.
