Hi Hugh,

I'll have a look at this and see whether it can be backported. Either way
we will be able to provide an installable hot-fix for you early next week.

The process that we use is to pull in changes from illumos gate and from
Joyent's illumos fork weekly and then assess the changes for back-port, so
if this is already in our bloody branch then it will not automatically appear
in older versions; it was presumably not selected.

The Gitter lobby is preferred for general support requests but we're also
around on IRC and check the mailing list from time to time. The core team
is all in Europe so there can be some latency due to time difference.

Regards,

Andy
