1.7.x is just so old that I couldn’t even point you in the right direction here. That code’s been heavily rewritten since that release, and I don’t think any kind of backport would be trivial at this stage. There was likely a lot of pieces involved to address that issue.
We really just don’t support 1.7.x in any form anymore. Best suggestion is to try to move into a modern release. I know that’s not always easy, particularly if there’s anything custom about your setup, but it’s the only way to get support and fixes going forward.
We can work closely with you on a migration plan and offer guidance on porting any in-house changes, along with assistance for issues that come up after, through a support contract, if you want to discuss it.
