I am having trouble bisecting, and it's slow going, but I should report that
a clean build of dbd9b17 (r262853), which is well before 03fdc293 (r263478)
-- also exhibits this problem.  I believe 04e37d68 also problematic, just in
case anyone else is out there looking, but I may have flubbed testing that
one.  Will report back soon.
