Very interesting.  It was applied using git-am from a mailbox sent to
me by Eric.  Strangly, the commit only contains the second file patched
by the contents of that message.

No idea how that happened.

Wonder how much other stuff has gone awry...

I'll strip out the second file from that message and reapply it.
Expect it to be fixed post-rc1 though.
