... but I have included the "obviously safe" patch separating PID 1
->fs.  Without letting it sit in -next long enough.  And it turns out
to be not safe at all - it might be salvagable, but not in this form.

Mea maxima culpa - I should've known better than that.  Self-LART applied;

sit in -next long enough) in a bit.

Again, my apologies ;-/
