Thanks.  I did want to say, I think the GCC community as a whole, and
Paolo in particular, has been very supportive and patient through this
patch series.

The thing that bothers me here isn't making mistakes -- I do that all
the time -- but rather that I really thought this patch was
bulletproof, that I'd tested it a lot, etc ... so I felt completely
blindsided by all the problems.  This presses a lot of buttons for me.
