I'll fix the commit message (unless you make it true by the time I re-upload
it ;).  In the meantime, I thought I did see a passing test suite, but I tried
it again in a clean tree to be sure, and indeed, I see the regressions too.  I
asked the release team to reject my upload, which they've done.  I'll respin
that once we have a patch that you like.
