The git tag for v1.0 does not include that commit.  Apparently the
current 1.0 tarball on the website does, which is odd since e9b4 was
only applied to the git tree _after_ a January 6th commit.  So either
"git log" is being weird, or you guys retroactively re-released the 1.0
tarball without renumbering it?

I'm confused...

I can confirm that current -master works for me.

The 1.0 tarball includes the fix, the 1.0 git tag doesn't.  I'll include
a note to that effect in my release notes.

Thanks,
