Reassigning to mygui as requested.

If the fixed upstream release breaks ABI and will require a transition,
then I think it would be best if someone can prepare and test a patch
for 3.4.2 to get this fixed (either by changing the build options or
by patching upstream source to fix the bug), and then the transition to
3.4.3 can be a separate change.
