This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Please, see an alternative patch in bug #1082014 (which is the same bug for RHEL 5). That one takes a different approach, which is in line with the approach taken by upstream.
