This looks like a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

And you have no way of falling back to 1.6 until the problem gets analyzed
and fixed? That's an irresponsible way of upgrading a critical piece of
your software infrastructure.

It's bad that this problem didn't get found during pre-release testing.
But that's a fact of life. Some problems will always slip through into
a new release, and you should be prepared in case you run into them.

The best you can hope for is to get a fix in 1.7.1, which is still
at least a week or 2 away from being released. In the meantime, if
you cannot work with 1.7.0, please use 1.6.17.
