I thought we didn't need a patch. I started investigating this when it first
came up and then dropped it after your last email.
Btw, please hold off on a release. I forgot to test my shared memory
synchronization patch last night but, if it works, it should go into
1.7.2. I'll test it tonight when I get home (or sooner if I can
convince someone at home to turn on my Windows machine).
