Perhaps.  But in any case, even if the underlying problem was actually a
different one, if several people cannot reproduce it in 0.7.x and there
are reasonably indications that it was fixed, it means that it's
probably fixed.

And more in general, if we cannot reproduce it there's not much that we
can do about it.

Sorry, but we don't have the resources to backport versions to Jessie,
if that's what you expect.

Due to various circumstances that it's not worth diving into right now,
it's probably also /technically/ difficult to backport it to Jessie, for
one boost1.58 would be needed.  But I will not stop anybody from trying.


Cheers.
