Normally I'd reference the url to the bug report when committing the change in my project.

However since it the bug is not visible yet I'll just refer to the bug-id.

That is of course a bit less reliable since I can't confirm that the bug-id is correct.

It did NOT affect 6u33. 6u33 worked without requiring the work-around.

I implemented the work-around you suggested and tested in all three versions.

I did not expect any difference in the outcome when running on 6u33 and that was the result.
