so if this issue is also in 5.2 .. i feel even less inclined to delay  
a stable 5.3 release because of this issue. have we made it worse in  
our attempts to fix it? the fact that this bug isnt fixed yet could  
mean several things like:
1) the issue affects few users
2) the issue is so complex that we continuously try to fix it and fail

both issues do not sound like good reason to delay 5.3 from where i  
stand.
