Hi Andrew and all,

I am about to push this change for Nikolay.
Given that last time we had a bit of discussion on the right format of 
putback message, i want to check with you this the following is fine.

According to Nikolay, this fix is not a strightforward port but a 
reworked fix for the 7's 6938454.

Thanks,

Ivan
