It seems that the patches don't obsolete this patch, but instead
require this patch to be applied first.

We really really need to get out of this pattern of building fixes
on top of bad patches.  If a patch is the wrong approach then it is
the wrong approach and should be dropped, or it should be merged with
the patches which fix stuff up to the new approach.

I'm going to combine B06 with patch 2 and hope things come out right.
