I've been struggling against bug 72348 [1], which leads the dumps to contain both old and new style records. This makes parsing extra challenging. 

I tried to follow the bugzilla trail, but it isn't clear where the bug stands. Do you have any guesses about when this issue is likely to get resolved? Days? Weeks? Months?

Thanks for your help!
