 I had a closer look and found that although jruoho did revert mpacpi.c
 1.79 in 1.93, he reapplied the change the following day in 1.94.  So
 the code in case is now again the same as when the problem first
 appeared, yet the problem no longer occurs.  Therefore I must conclude
 that the problem has been fixed, whatever it was.
