Not sure what tree you're based upon, but the same code is farther
down now.  Anyway:

4be757dd	(Dan Williams	2006-01-30 11:58:00 -0500	6716)		break;
4be757dd	(Dan Williams	2006-01-30 11:58:00 -0500	6717)
4be757dd	(Dan Williams	2006-01-30 11:58:00 -0500	6718)		/* Commit the changes to flags if needed */

Looks like we can blame Dan since he added those lines all in one
patch.  Pay no attention to the person that committed... :-)

Dan, what is the proper fix?
