I meant capture new traces once you are on 1.8.5 (assuming the problem
still exists). Different libraries are used now, so the error might
manifest differently.

Simply saying that this is not the sort of error that a dev can attach a

You are not using 1.8, so how do you know? The vast majority of bugs do
not go through the tracker. I am simply pointing out that getting this
into the tracker will not get it any more attention.
