It's worth it to me!  This stuff should Just Work!

See if the changes I pushed up in r356 helped any.  Since I can't
explain it failing before, I'm not overly confident it'll make a
difference, but we'll see at any rate.  If not, we'll have to get more
creative...

There must be some changes piled up in that package, then; there are
more diffs than that between 3.8.1 and 3.8.2, and more since.

being the only substantial diff you have, that's post-3.8.2, so I
suspect you're actually comparing against a 3.8.2 manpage rather than
3.8.1...
