The cmake I'm using is a source drop in our local perforce repository  
and it's used by a bunch of projects. It's not very safe for me to  
simply upgrade that cmake, especially to something that's not even a  
stable release. Can you point me to a specific changeset or patch  
that would fix this in my current version?

Thanks,
Kevin
