Sorry, this is 12 years ago, I really cannot remember anything, other than what is written here. Some contributor asked me to test a specific case in a particularly complex (and probably rare) setup, and I was just not able to test that, because I didn't have the server setup. That's what I'm understanding from the comments. From what I can see, there is a working patch, but it was never reviewed. From what I can see, that was the problem why this was stuck.
