I manually removed a stray newline in the patch file.  I shouldn’t have done that.  I’ve removed the stray newline in the sources, committed (with git commit —amend) and am testing again, which is what I should have done the first time….

Ok, the tests pass.  Here are those two patches again, both regenerated with a fresh invocation of ‘git format-patch’.
