Well... now you know that somebody else thought it was strange too. But
not quite why. At least I don't know why, other than assuming it was
a simple human mistake. But maybe the s390 developers will have an
interesting explanation or something. Herbert CC'd them into that
thread, so I look forward to seeing their response (if any).
