I did wonder what commit achieved that, I will see if I can get Dave
DeMarle to cherry-pick the patch. The odd thing is two submissions
showed improvement, but not the main debug build. That said, a rebuild
from the previous day hung, so I may restart that submission once I
get in and can keep an eye on it.
