	I do not think we have a choice but to keep the patch.  If we
could delay adding the semantics.c patch to the branch, that would be
helpful.  Hopefully a fix for the AIX Assembler will be available soon.

	I thought that patches applied to the branch would be less risky
and the branch more stable, but it seems to be the opposite.  I think this
mainly reiterates the point that any patch is risky.
