+Here's the situation:
+
+  * the bug exists in the 1.1.7 tree
+
+  * the bug is fixed in the main development tree
+
+  * the error message is correct, but may break some program that
+inadvertently depends on the bug (IIRC, 'tomboy' has some code that
+wrongly compiles because of this bug)
+
+  * the policy of the 1.1.7.x tree is to only backport critical
+bugfixes that won't destablilize some major applications
+
+It's unlikely that this bugfix won't go into 1.1.7.1, and so, I'm
+closing this bug.
