Yesterday I was asking myself the same question after seeing a second
bug about this problem.

I see you've already investigated and found the issue.  I had a patch
ready yesterday (which reverted the problematic change on cdbs), but
wanted to do more testing today.  Unfortunately I was AFK for the entire
day and couldn't even reply to these messages; sorry about that.

Either way, I just wanted to say that I agree with the revert.  CDBS
must go; we really need to retire it.

Thanks,
