Hmm, isn't it the vice versa though?

If an app is written to work on unfixed Mesa (the app is broken), it works on
both unfixed and fixed Mesa, but leaks fds on fixed Mesa, because nothing will
close the fds given to Mesa.

If an app is written to work on fixed Mesa (the app is correct), it will not
work on unfixed Mesa, because unfixed Mesa will close the fds behind the app's
back. (Assuming the app actually needs to store and use the fds again.)

So, concretely, do I have to send a copy of the patch to mesa-stable@ or
something, or is it already taken care of?
Any tag lines to add to the patch?
