I'll make a patch.

I'm not sure how the process will work (from my own point of view anyway) as Patchy only tests against master and we've split of 2.18, so I'll do the make and make check/doc manually if that is OK?

Assuming it is all OK, and goes through the countdown, do I just 'git push HEAD:stable/2.18'?

Anyway, I'll get a patch done first.
