close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.

More operator error than bug.  I'd overlooked the requirement for the experimental=1 option to be set for the entry to appear.  Patch submitted to remove this requirement.
Comment 2 Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 2008-08-29 16:48:13 UTC
patch is well on the way to mainline. I am marking this resolved, to be closed when the patch hits mainline.
