Oh crap, that's my fault.  I hate bash at times, I'm using a script to
copy changesets and format them in the way that works for the stable
tree.  I need to switch it to perl so these things don't happen :(

In looking closer, I also messed up on some other patches in this -rc1,
I need to redo the whole thing.  Ugh.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll fix it up.
