Comment:

 Replying to [comment:16 pgj]:
 > Could somebody please un-break the FreeBSD builder clients by pushing my
 patch?  They have been broken for about a month because of the currently
 applied patch.  Thank you in advance!

 I'm a little unsure about this patch, which is why I asked you to add a
 comment.  But your comment just points back to this ticket, and I'm none
 the wiser!  You mentioned that this is a temporary fix, which also makes
 me a bit nervous.  I'm not sure whether this will have implications for
 other platforms or not.

 What I'd like to see is

  * a consise description of the problem
  * an explanation of the workaround
  * if this is a temporary workaround, what is the right fix?
  * when can we remove the temporary workaround?
  * what are the implications for other platforms?
