I'd suggest that, if possible, someone with sufficient knowledge to evaluate it look at ticket #1990 (data truncation from arrays of strings and integers), since it's both potentially dangerous, as well as a new bug introduced between 1.5.1 and 1.6.1. It might be straightforward to fix without too much difficulty, and if so, I think it's probably worth it. My opinion might be unduly influenced by a collaborator having been bitten by this bug recently, and having to throw away and redo a few weeks of calculations and analysis.
