``break main'' was, for me the crasher bug :-)  The criteria explicitly 
mention ``does it fix "break main; run"'' which it did :-)

As for the FP crash, thanks to your bug analysis there's something to 
stop it in the branch and a mainline fix is well in hand.

I still think we're better off shooting for a decent clean-up by 6.3 (in 
a few months).

I'll commit the ``absolute source path'' patch then 6.2.1 is good to go 
(well depending on how Eli and Mark resolve the i386 change).
