That's a rather bad problem.  We usually have a two-week schedule of
developer releases.  When you find a really bad regression like that, it
makes sense to indicate its urgency and decide between

a) revert the patch causing the problem, and then create a new patch
reintroducing the change in a fixed manner
b) speed up the submission of the followup patch and not waiting for the
regular countdown.

When the fix is quite simple (like a typo or a very obvious oversight
needing very little code), option b) is likely the easiest.  Otherwise
it makes sense to go via route a).

Also, when submitting an issue like 4918, you should label it as
category "Regression" when it is a recently introduced problem and state
explicitly which patch/issue (if known) introduced the problem.  Only
then will it be obvious to others what the consequences may be and
whether they should suggest to you or the Patch meister how to best deal
with this particular problem.
