Dear Andy,

You're absolutely right.  This is why the AIX regression tests have 
been failing for the past several days.

I checked in the fix for this today around 12:15 pm New York time 
(18:15 CEST, in Belgium) and it should be working properly now.  I 
apologize that I didn't take care of this sooner.

If for some reason the build does not succeed, then please make any 
appropriate fix for your system and send the diff (made with "cvs diff 
-u") to the researchers list.
