Which kind of network transport was used? Is this reproducible? Chances are, if this is reproducible in the latest version, someone would fix it soon enough. If not, and it's important to you, you would ping back. If other people find this issue, they would send another email. In fact, if you really want to help, you could clone the latest 'master' to see if this still happening, narrow down the steps needed to reproduce this, write a test to trigger it and send a patch. Certainly, a test case that constantly fails would be a constant remainder that there is a bug. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
