Bah. I pulled, and then unpulled, because that module version number
change was obviously garbage.

That versioning has been problematic before too, and honestly seems to
be just completely broken and pointless random numbers that mostly -
but not always - are in sync.

This pull wasn't really a "fix" anyway, but then when I see nonsense
like that I just decide it's entirely bogus.
