We've all done it, but yes :)

I try to stick to:

  1. write code.
  2. build code.
  3. test code.
  4. submit code.

I imagine you tested an early version of the patch, or on RHEL or
something, but that can bite you like this. Whenever possible you should
build & test the exact code you submit, though that can be hard when
trees are moving quickly underneath you.

cheers
