Nothing suggests anyone is working on fixing the problem. If you have a
fix, why don't you commit it? If you don't have a fix *now*, why is the
breakage not reverted for the time being? I didn't even get any reaction
on this question.

I don't expect the trunk to be perfectly usable all the time, but I fail
to see any value in leaving a known and repeatedly reported breakage in
for an extended period of time.

Anyway, thanks for at least expressing your (IMO overly) optimistic view
on the matter.
