In that case, I'll check it straight in. It was actually surprisingly easy to do, given how finicky import.c can get (this particular change was able to be handled entirely inside getparent()).

Please, please DON'T.

At this point in the release cycle, making a change like this without review (particularly to something as diabolically hairy as import.c) is going to make me unbelievably cranky. I'll try to make time to review the patch you posted tomorrow.
