I have 2 machines that had not got that far in today's update cycle
(they are still in the "building libraries" component of "make
buildworld" as I type); I have hand-applied the change to them, and
will report back once we get that far.  (Disclosure: They are not
fast machines, so expectations regarding reporting timeframe may merit
appropriate "seasoning," :-} [They are in the mix because a) they are
available; b) to provide a bit of diversity in the mix.])

Thanks!

Peace,
