Sorry -- it was pkgsrc head.  I confess I'm not accustomed to thinking 
in terms of the quarterly release cycle for pkgsrc.

This line appears in the PR:

	I did not see anything of interest in either of those two files

I did "investigate" those files and reported my results in the PR.  I 
could certainly be mistaken, of course, but it wasn't for lack of 
trying or failure to follow the directions.  Since the two files total 
about 27K lines, and since I've found the problem quite reproducible on 
four different machines, I didn't see the point of posting them.
