7.2.1 is ancient and has a very long list of known bugs. We officially
abandoned support for the 7.2.* branch more than a year ago, upon
finding some bugs that were simply not practical to fix in that branch.

If you must keep using 7.2.*, at least get yourself onto 7.2.8, the last
of that series. But you'd be doing yourself a real favor by expending
a little more effort and moving to a current release series ---
preferably 8.1.*.
