It would have caught the first problem, which I reported here
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-August/065175.html.
This problem was fixed by kan as noted here
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2006-August/067536.html

Notice I reported the problem of Aug 16th.  Kan's patch was committed
on Aug 17th.

He only corrected the second problem caused by his commit.

Huh?  If Guido had done a "make buildworld" or "make universe"
before he committed the source, then the problem would never have
existed.
