Actually, strictly, I've only done the build with the patch that I sent 
in, not with the one you applied (though I doubt there would be a 
difference in a change as small at that).  With anoncvs being down last

Adding constraints can cause failure, because it could cause a pattern to 
no-longer match.  This shouldn't occur for this change, however.
