If there is a risk, then let's apply the patch. Let me know if you'd
like me to do it. I have a check out of the branch already available,
so I can do it pretty efficiently.

You're no3 on the list of fixes that made it to the branch.
I try to be careful in my review of the patches that are applied,
so hopefully I didn't miss any. My idea was to make a 6.5.1 release
in october or november if I had enough patches. 3 could qualify as
enough. Maybe we'll have a couple more by then.
