I had asked one person to do a little extra work validating that
removing the do{}while's hadn't changed the resulting object code.
Unfortunately, I forgot who that was :(  Only because there have been so
many people submitting the exact same thing, though...

I suspect this is a combination of a) checkpatch.pl getting a more
enhanced handling of do{}while's in macros, and b) more folks doing the
Eudiptula (sp?) challenge.

Agreed from a patch management side.  I was attempting to encourage the
new submitters to starting integrating the mailinglist into their
workflow.
