Yes, please.  I also just realized that I had run the patched batch mode
tests from my home directory, i.e., following the symlink.  When I run
them from the source directory without following the symlink, I get the
same five failures again (i.e., with the patch) that I had gotten before
without the patch.  So much for that attempt.
