It looks like that fix has been merged into the latest stable release,
1.11.21. It's not mentioned in the NEWS file, but a search through the
source of vers_ts.c indicates that Derek Price checked the change in the
1.12 branch in July, 2003 and Larry Jones merged it to the main branch
in June, 2005.
