Looking at the public steem repo, I think the "quick fix" was here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/commit/587574f7aefd030ac440df853e00263a4d92c610

But there's active commits going on now, so if I had to guess, I would guess they are looking at creating a more elegant solution. But that's pure speculation on my part as I haven't reviewed any of those changes yet.
