Thanks for the quick turnaround.  I confirm that patch works when  
applied to the released 2.5.3.

It took me a while to actaully get it properly tested.  Partial problem  
is that I'm testing with a testing version of the Gentoo ebuild, and I  
had to modify it to apply the patch.  Second problem is that I still  
had remnants of testing git head under /usr/local/... which interfered  
with the new files under /usr/...  Once I got all that straghtened out,  
everything was good.
