Yes, that was the one I was thinking of too. I think the "better
guessing" is solved. It was a long and tedious path to get to the patch
Herbert produced and I think we can say the "better guessing" is, well,
better.

Ah, I thought they were all converted over already. Yes, we've been
bitten by this little quirk before. I'll look into that patch again.
For NLS you could update to the main trunk with the knowledge not a lot
will change between now and then, except that archlinux patch.
I'd like to get the 8-bit watch one in too, but that will need some
work. I haven't yet worked out to make a diff between a cherry-pick and
my status.
