[sldev] Snowglobe 1.2 RC coming soon

[Philippe (Merov) Bossut]

Hi,

This is indeed a really pesky bug though not a "Snowglobe" specific one.
It's affecting Lindens as well for sure so it's not like it's not on our
radar, it's just that fixing it will require a major rewrite of the baking
system.

If someone could identify a 100% (or even 90%...) repro path that would help
tremendously identifying a fix though.

Cheers,
- Merov
