It would seem I've got the Midas touch this merge window, my apologies yet 
again.

The short version is that everything should be fixed now, the stable-3.18 
branch should be the single list corruption patch on top of the next branch I 
sent previously.  James, could you please re-pull from the stable-3.18 branch?

Thanks for your patience.

The slightly longer version is that when I created the stable-3.18 branch from 
the next branch I used the '--clone' flag in stgit which updated the dates on 
the patches which were new for #next (not "committed" in stgit) and caused the 
commit IDs to change.  Another lesson learned, I'm sorry it caused additional 
problems.
