This was a sprawling discussion that ranged from not getting a recipe to
not getting a fix tested.  It seems like the conclusion was that this
was fixed, and we've heard nothing more in 7.5 years.  I'm therefore
closing this bug report.

If this conclusion is incorrect and this is still an issue, please reply
to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can
reopen the bug report.
