   The fact that there is one more string doesn't mean that
the code wasn't changed elsewhere!  The patch does work, but I
think it creates/reveals a bug with TFS.  I haven't tried this since,
but when we installed the patch and the user tried its restore trick,
my machine didn't crash anymore BUT my tfs mounts where all
screwed ups and I had to reboot anyway!  This occured twice and
we have refrained from using the t flag to restore since.
