Comment (by killyourtv):

 Replying to [comment:4 zooko]:
 > Hm, toto, killyourtv, is there anything that Tahoe-LAFS should do to
 deal with this issue? I'm inclined to close it as "not our problem".



 I'm not sure, tbh. I made my mods after seeing it on a mailing list post
 somewhere (maybe even tahoe-dev?).  What I did may even be a
 '''horrible''', cringe-worthy idea but it did allow it to proceed and
 tahoe seemed to work just fine in the afterwards.
