Subject: Menuconfig has butterfly effects?

I ran "make ARCH=x86_64 menuconfig", did a lot of editing, and saved 
the .config.  Then I copied that to a backup, ran "make oldconfig" on the 
config I'd just saved, and compared it with the backup:

--- .config     2007-02-27 18:10:01.000000000 -0500

The first hunk I expect, the second I did not.  Anybody care to venture a 
guess why the visibility logic is unstable?
