SQE: Please review and mark. R-team approves this fix for 7u10
05-11-2012

Marking P2 as it leads to crash. Taking this into 7u10 simplifies support for -rev revisions as otherwise this fix will need to be reapplied to multiple repos as Abhijit states above.
01-11-2012

Agree it is useful to take it into 7u10. This is related to code we exercise actively by code for security features. Fix is tiny and safe too.
01-11-2012

Fix from 7u9-b32 revision. If not included into 7u10, will need a sync revision on 7u10 and then on 7u11 and finally fix will go to public via 7u12. If fixed in 7u10, will get to public release quicker.
