Yay from me.
I think this patch is a fairly important addition especially since it was
indicated to a number of people who were affected by this patch that the fix
would be in the next release. If we delay the patch till 4.3.3, people may
think (even if it is not true) that other fixes have not found their way to
4.3.2 release as well. And will wait before upgrading their 4.0.X, 4.1.X
4.2.X releases for another 6-5 month that it takes for 4.3.3 to come out. And
I think that this is something we would want to avoid.
That said, I have been using CVS version of the 4.3.X tree with this patch on
my test server, with php scripts that have many includes, requires etc...
with ~ 100k php requests & 5000 php cron runs every 24 hours and have
encountered only a single crash related to the fd patch that was already
resolved.
