...That isn't always the case, but it _is_ a lot easier on the developers
and usually speeds things up if a patch is supplied (even if it is a
trivial problem, such as this one, because then the developer can quickly
scan the patch for sanity, feed it to patch(1), and then cvs commit).
In any event, I have committed your suggested fix (plus the one case
you missed :-).
