Seems to me that unproven fixes do not belong in stable branches.

Seems to me that unproven fixes do not belong in stable branches.

The fix was tested by several people on several versions of OSX, and it
is only enabled when compiling with thread-safety. I don't see a
problem.

I found that out later on in another thread. The problem is with the
commit message, which makes it sound like this is an untested "maybe
this will work" patch ...

Yes, the commit message was unclear.
