I have no idea!  Had a look through the history but couldn't see
anything obvious.  I remvoed a random + 0 I found, and nothing looked
like it went wrong.

As an aside, it looks like your MUA has stripped repeated whitespace in
the quote above.  Makes the code rather difficult to read. :P  You might
want to look into that.

Thanks for the review!  Again, much appreciated even though I pushed
already, and I'll try to add it retrospectively as a git note.

It may interest you to know that this patch actually had a bug in it,
which I didn't notice either until I managed to crash crosvm because of
it.  Here's the fix:
