No, it's my fault (but lets not come to blows over it, eh? :)). As the
committer it is my responsibility to make sure that anything I commit
works. I was careless, I scp(1)'d the diff to freefall whilst I was
building my local copy. When that failed, I fixed it locally, created a new
diff, re-built my local copy (which then worked), but forgot to scp(1) the
new diff.

I've just re-read it and it's not that bad. The information is there and
understandable, which is the most important thing.

OK, if you send the patch to me I'll commit it (after going over it with a
fine-toothed comb :) ).
