This is my patch to remove the unwanted ABI changes from 3.9.0.  I
just went through all the CVS logs and found the changes committed by
Joris around the time he made the fix.  I then backported the changes
to branch-3-9 in CVS.  The changes were small, and I was able to
hand-apply the patch without a problem.  I rebuilt and then tested
several applications built with 3.8.2 and run with the shared
libraries from 3.9.0.  Everything looks good.  If this patch is
accepted, I withdraw my objections against the release of 3.9.0 and
would add my voice to those encouraging a speedy release.

I'm really sorry I didn't just do this when I first noticed that
Joris's changes had not been committed to the trunk.  I'm sorry that
this issue caused such a long delay in the release, but as I said
before, I'm very grateful that Bob, Frank, Andrey, et al held off on
making an ABI-breaking release with the same soname.
