Did you notice all the attempts to send a corrected patch?  v6 finally
got it right (sent Monday).  Sorry for all the noise.  Serve me right

checked it.

It was tested, but the patched code wasn't actually checked in.  It was
still in my tree.  I ran "git commit --amend" more than once, forgetting
the "-a", and didn't carefully enough inspect the resulting patch.
