As far as your view is concerned it wasn't.  It was compiled and tested,
but the fix ended up in the following patch in the branch that wasn't

The sample records were copied from the test and not cooked.  git add -p
and/or git rebase -i fumble.

I'm very sorry to have wasted your time.  I know it is precious right now.
