Please find attached a diff against current Vcs-Svn, that imports the
patches proposed on the upstream Bugzilla to fix #747465 and #693837.
I've built the resulting source tree with svn-buildpackage, and
successfully tested on current sid.

Should I go ahead and NMU? (I realize that no upstream developer has
ACK'd these patches yet, so it would be great if someone who's
C-literate could take a look first.)

Also raising severity of #747465, as proposed in June and a week ago.

Cheers,
