Whoa, hold on just a second.  Noorul is not to blame here.  Patches are
transmitted against a baseline code snapshot that isn't guaranteed to remain
unchanged between patch submission and patch commit times.  As the reviewer
and committer of the patch, it was *my* job to make sure that it didn't
break anything.

And as it turns out, I thought I did my job well enough.  I ran a full 'make
check' plus executed cat_tests.py over both svn:// and http:// before
committing this patch -- all without a single meaningful failure.  (I *was*
seeing an XPASS in the diff-diff3-test C tests, but that was clearly
unrelated.)  So I really have no clue about what went wrong here.
