Hey everyone,

Do you think this is because he was running an older very of mergemaster?
Perhaps it was necessary to run the recently built mergemaster.  Afterall, 
mergemaster -p is run *before* make installworld and is thus an older version.
Whereas, when running mergemaster after make installworld, the newer version
is being used.  Perhaps we should document that when you use mergemaster -p,
it's probably safer to use the full path to the recently built mergemaster.
