My testing showed that it worked as of 2000.08.22.00.00.00, but not as of
2000.08.23.00.00.00 - I manually backed out each commit, until (I think) I
proved it was those commits.

The servers are physically impossible for me to reach, so I'm not able to
piddle in the system setup. In any case, whatever happened needs to be
fixed, so that someone popping a CD in a new setup doesn't get a panic.
