Arrgh!

Yes, I ran into that compile problem already. I'd already made
that change (I'm not quite Linus; I do *compile* my untested patches
before posting them), but didn't commit it properly, and when I ran
format-patch... :-(

Since this seems to be a positive reaction, I'll put together a test
harmess and make a proper submission.
