Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Upstream is aware of the bug. As such, we are not patching it. It you want it fixed sooner, harass the upstream devs ;)

As this is a known bug, and there is an upstream bug open on it, and it doesn't affect usability I am not inclined to attempt to patch it. I think it's better that we wait on upstream to patch it on their own and release an official patch.

Works for me. It's disconcerting to see "as superuser," however.
