I'm not seeing this in Second Life 2.2.1 (212292) Second Life 
Development - are we sure it wasn't fixed by the other (and much 
simpler) water flicker fix?

In any event, nothing with a patch that large (and which affects code 
shared with the simulator) counts as "low hanging fruit", however 
important the problem is.

As I've mentioned before, there is an effort under way to split out the 
code that is shared between viewer and simulator into its own repository 
so that it can be better managed and evolved in a more coordinated way. 
  That should be visible in the open source within a month or so, I 
think.  My own opinion is that considering changes as large as this one 
that affects that code should be deferred until after that change.
