[It won't help you here, but anyway: you should use  *current*  code,
i. e. top of tree in git repository.]

Yes. This is a known problem. If you had searched  the  mailing  list
archive (or just read today's messages!) you should have known.

You misquote the code jhere.

You got what you asked for. You commented out some arbitray piece  of
code (obviously without understanding or even thinking what you might
be doing), so please don't be surprised if it breaks.


"My car showed a 'no gas' message on the display. I  ripped  out  the
engine.  Not  that  message  is  gone,  but  the car won't start. Any
suggestions ?"
