It might have tested OK for the committer, but not for you. By the way, I didn't get the error you reported in your first message, but I did get the error reported in your later message.

If it is a repeat offense, I can see why you would want to blow off some steam. However as a committer myself, I do like it when someone politely points out my error, and gives me a chance to correct myself. For example, I recently had a very pleasant exchange with someone who helped me fix my math/sage port for FreeBSD 9. Stephen
