What you didn't notice is that it fixed many programs that were
broken. We weren't able to come up with a fix which maintained
compatibility with all programs which *happened* to work and with the
documentation, and which also fixed the programs that were broken. If
you have such a fix and haven't already told us about it, please do so.
