The following patch makes stuff happy for me. I'm happy to check
it in if someone wants to give a yea/nay. Looking in the mailing
list archives, this is something that's bitten quite a number of
people, so I think there's value to putting it back in. (Possibly
with a couple of DeprecationWarnings if necessary).
