Probably not necessary. The thread is archived, a patch is in the 3.1.6
repository (thanks Joe!), and it doesn't look like the bug affects the
3.2 branch. If someone gets around to putting together a 3.1.7 release,
I am sure they will check all the existing patches to see what needs to
be included.
