I've been wondering when we'll see the fix for that in a non-snapshot release.  
I've been waiting for it since 1.5.19 came out (many months ago).  Sure, I could 
use a snapshot but I'd rather use something not in a state of flux.  How hard 
would it be to make a 1.5.19-5 with that fix?  Judging from this mailing list I 
am surprised that cvs server is the only application bitten by this bug.
