OK, fix applied to 6.5.* tree. The fix was already applied to 7.0 tree.

We did not patch 6.5.* tree at first because even though it fixed a bug,
there was no confirmation from anyone else that that there were no
adverse side-affects.

Only very safe patches are put in 6.5.* because little testing is
performed on the minor releases.

With your confirmation, it is safe to put in 6.5.* now.
