 Interestingly, after applying the patch and re-running, nothing
 changes: It appears that "fetch" isn't even being called!
 
 It looks as if the problem isn't actually in the "fetch" script, then
 - but in whatever *should* call it.
 
 ("fetch" isn't called when running "bmake" or "bmake fetch", either
 normally or with PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL set)
