[Mike Mestnik]

There are plenty of other important bugs to work on:

Not everyone who posted on this bug saying it effected them marked it as
having effected them, too sad.  The count should be at least 3, but one
wonders how many noobs read the fix and didn't know to at least trip the
this effects me.

Cheers.
