This reverts commit 0c85a7e874.
The games with 'rm' are on (two separate instances) of a local variable,
and make no difference.
Quoting Aditya Pakki:
"I was the author of the patch and it was the cause of the giant UMN
revert.
The patch is garbage and I was unaware of the steps involved in
retracting it. I *believed* the maintainers would pull it, given it
was already under Greg's list. The patch does not introduce any bugs
but is pointless and is stupid. I accept my incompetence and for not
requesting a revert earlier."
