Mental, do you think 871582 is fixable this weekend? If not, how critical is the bug - could it be postponed for next release?
It's probably not extremely critical; we're certainly not going to be able to fix it in time for the release, anyway.
It's hitting a corner case and getting stuck in an infinite loop in nr_svl_uncross_full(), just below where Lauris marked it "This is bitch" ... it's a huge function, much of which seems to have evolved through trial and error rather than any sort of formal basis.
Probably the only way to fix it is to rewrite it.
