In case you haven't already noticed, in r17598 I have backed out the pound
symbol changes for bug 141003. Since it involved the same lines as the fix
for bug 141002, it prevented 141002 from getting backported into 2.2.7. I
have an alternative solution for the pound symbol, but am not 100% happy
with it so I have not committed it yet. At least the way is cleared now for
the 141002 fix no matter where 141003 ends up. Stay tuned.
