Would folks comment on Nathan's, Joe's and Stefan's work on https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42829
and offer any comments on why this patch; https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22822 should not be applied to trunk/ and branches/2.2.x/ in time for the next releases? If I hear no objections by noon Jan 8 I'll apply. According to Stefan this current patch is improving the situation. Bill
