Yes: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086
There's a patch attached to the bug which should fix it; please test and
(this is important) report your findings. One-off tests are OK, thorough
tests (eg "we used it on our dev boxes for N days/weeks") are better.
Often patches do not get applied due to insufficient testing (or lack
of reports, which is indistiguishable from the developers' point of view).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
