Not sure to follow, we are talking about fixing a crash, a crash is always bad and as we are still in maintenance mode there is no issue here. That being said, we need to choose a solution now, for two reasons: . fix is already in 5.5, we don't want different fixes in 5.3/4 and 5.5 . it takes way too long to approve the patches, Anatol has put many efforts to full fill Derick's requirements, it is not a small bug.
