Great. I've attached what I have staged for commit.
My first instinct was to not bother back-patching this since all
currently-supported versions will have been out of support for over 8 years
by the time this becomes a practical issue. However, I wonder if it makes
sense to back-patch for the kinds of 32-bit embedded systems you cited
upthread. I can imagine that such systems might need to work for a very
long time without any software updates, in which case it'd probably be a
good idea to make this fix available in the next minor release. What do
you think?
