Not sure how many people actually tried this, but I've seen no problems with 
this in the past 2 months.  Haven't seen too much recently about people 
having all of their siteManage stuff deleted, but I'm sure the bug is still 
lurking out there waiting for the chance to strike again.

Has anybody actually tested this patch more in-depth to determine if the 
problem is correctly resolved?
