Apparently this is affecting more than 1 user (see bug 2398).  Was the 
cause (and a proper fix) ever found for this problem other than 
commenting out the necessary line?  The reporter of that bug was going 
to do a regression test, and the Jan release was the last official 
release that worked, so of course this problem affected him until he 
found that mail.  I assume so since we havent gotten any more reports of 
this, but I want to make sure, and find out when the problem was fixed.
