In addition to a small number of Darwin-specific patches, I would like
to back-port the fix for PR81033 which although it is not mentioned as
a regression, is a wrong-code bug on 7.x.  The fix was applied to trunk
in August, and to 8.x in Oct, with no reported problems.  I checked
Darwin and Linux with the backport over the weekend with no issues
shown.

OK?
