I'll leave this up to you.  Does your fix solve the problem completely?

Let's all evaluate bugs at this stage according to:

1) Is your potential code fix large?
2) Can it be fixed in a timely manner?
3) Is is important enough to delay 3.2?
4) Does the bug affect enough users to be important in the short-term?

Thanks.
