That was due to 12977:af39d20b2b728941421ef18e5c5b1012852eec80[0] which
I have now reverted. The reversion will be
13080:4ef0dbe95eac33033abeee36a8f13eaaeb9d5639 once it comes through
regression testing.

Hollis, what was the warning the change was introduced to avoid? If you
have any ideas for another workaround for them in the 3.0.4 release we'd
be grateful to hear it ASAP -- Keir plans to roll the final RC in the
next 24 hours.

Cheers,
Ian.
