Hm, can you show the configuration you're dealing with now? Is it still 
similar to your test053 setup? (By the way, the test053 in HEAD works with the 
current code.)

in several cases that never needed it before, which is why I changed approach.

We can think about this some more but I'd like to get 2.4.10 out now. A final 
resolution of this issue may have to wait for 2.4.11.
