Hi Davide,

Yes, the fix will be in release 4.1.3-beta, 4.1.3, and all subsequent releases.

I could make the 20-line patch available as well, but there is another fairly
important backward-compatibility fix Ed has put in version 4.1.3, so we want
to encourage upgrades to 4.1.3 where practical.

We hope to have a beta release of 4.1.3 by tomorrow, with the 4.1.3 release
next week, depending on whether problems are discovered in the beta release.

In case you're interested, I've attached the 20-line addition to 
libsrc/posixio.c
for 4.1.2.
