This needs correcting.

The clever bot is a project of Andreas Ruprecht, Stefan Hengelein, and
Valentin Rothberg. I've only been cheering their efforts.

I noticed this issue because I wrote a 800 line perl monster that checks
this stuff. It's only slightly more advanced than
scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py (which Stefan and Valentin wrote). And
I'm sure that python script would have spotted this issue too.

Thanks,


Paul Bolle
