 Please look carefully at the patch, that's not what it does. From my
 earlier mail on 7/12 to you:

 "Incidentally, the first part of the siscan.patch I submitted in #2033
 fixes the logic behind the "if (processed SDT & NIT)" -- the if expression
 previously waited only for NIT or SDT, so it generally finished without
 any SDTs. The patch fixes it, though the expression should probably be
 rewritten so that the logic is more clear in the first place (currently it
 reads as "don't complete the scan if waiting for tables before completion,
 and a full SDT set hasn't been received, and a full NIT set hasn't been
 received", which is a little too double-negative to be easily readable) "
