! You can tell from the tags and linked MRs whether an issue was fixed in a
! given version or not; there'll be a green tag with the major version number
! (9.18, 9.20, etc) if the issue is fixed in that major version, and a linked
! backport MR for each major version as well. There'll also be an "Affects"
! tag for each major version known to be affected, regardless of whether it's
! fixed or not. #4669 only applies to 9.19 (the development version that is
! the precursor to 9.20), as notify sending was refactored in 9.19, and that
! refactoring is what introduced that bug.
Thank You very much, that is a helpful backstory.
So, named 9.18 did send the notify, but did not yet complain on EPERM.
The firewall did indeed complain, but one didn't bother to read that.
