My patch was against the latest CVS version.  (I would have mentioned the
version otherwise, but I should have mentioned it even then; sorry for the
omission.)

I noticed the problem in Debian's emacs-snapshot package:

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.1) of 2009-07-31 on lansones, modified by Debian
