I think the part of the missing background here (which would really be in fix-request) is that we have been running with this patch in GenShen for quite a while. So this is not really a new patch, it fixes an important corner case, and so I think it would be useful to have in current 17u (17.0.11). @GoeLin, can we still do it? @earthling-amzn should probably re-request with the much better fix-request.
