I think both 5.4 and 5.3 should get the original patch and not something that would not actually solves the original problem (unknown object state and possible crashes) while introducing weird error. It is not a small patch but does not change existing behaviors of the other date area, it only adds clean support for (un) serialization for this object. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
