But you didn't :-) You just cut and pasted it. And if you're not going
to send a context diff, it should be a unidiff such as git normally
produces. Since I didn't actually tell you that I've made a context diff
for you, and it's attached. I'll let someone with more FBSD-fu than me
actually comment on it.
