Sorry, I think the problem is my mail archives don't seem to have this
original patch. Each time there is a ping, I go and try and find it,
get confused and then get distracted. I have no idea why this isn't
there.

I've queued it in morty-next which should give some hope to this
getting sorted, assuming we can fix the other morty breakage and get
clean builds.

Cheers,

Richard
