Comment # 4 on bug 972686 from Hans de Raad

The issue has been resolved in Github:
https://github.com/yast/yast-auth-server/pull/26/commits/53e74e6aa75084ce01d4378a212b81fb90c83439

I have applied the patch manually and it does indeed resolve the issue.

Any info on when this fix might make it into Leap?
