I've replaced Tom's name with mine for 14002, as I'm now actively working o= n it. I've also added 14125 which I also want to have fixed for 7.5, and I'm working on that too. For that my plan is to add a "bit" (TBD if it's just a bit) that specifies for each symbol whether it's in GLOBAL_BLOCK or STATIC_BLOCK.
