Waiting for security releases is considered to be bad if you 
can gather the information for fixing this issue.

No please not if it breaks things.

Can you maybe ask upstream for the patch then?
His changes to the branch are in revision 676 but he later

status of this in the branch.

Kind regards
Nico
