I apologize for referring to the entire set of commits as fixes when
it's really fixes and various other things. I've said so in the tag
description, but I realize now that that's not good enough. Lying
about what those commits are wasn't my intention though.

And I apologize for the last -minute changes. There is one commit that
removes a single line of dead code which could easily have waited. The
rest are fixes, but they should have been completed much sooner.
That's entirely my fault.
