Logo not showing up in the print pages after upgrade to 6.x-1.17

Upgraded 6.x-1.14 to 6.x-1.17.
On the print pages - the site logo does not appear.
I see that the image path is prefixed with the double slash - e.g. //
The problem I beleive is in the print.pages.inc line 227 where base path is replaced with slash.
And the nexl line - is theme('image'... - which adds one more slash to the image path.
So I replaced the line 227:

$logo_url = preg_replace('!^'. base_path() .'!', '/', $logo_url);  $site_name = variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal');

with the line:

  $logo_url = preg_replace('!^'. base_path() .'!', '', $logo_url);  $site_name = variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal');

Everything seams to be working now...
