Huh.  Well supporting the idea that the issues I've seen on gitlab
were just bad luck, I've now gotten a clean check with the hflags
patches... bug only on my ppc-for-6.1 branch.

The ppc64 bug that Greg was seeing still makes me nervous, as does the
failures which we saw at one point which showed that new hflags assert
explicitly failing.

Since the hflags stuff is of moderate complexity and is a bug fix,
it's not a regression fix.  So, I'm going to postpone that until
ppc-for-6.1, and move ahead with this PR without it.

Richard - the remaining possible problem with the hflags stuff seems
to manifest with the assert failing in the last patch.  However, I'm
guess that's just exposing some more subtle problem introduced by an
earlier patch.  Any chance you could re-order the series to insert the
assert near the beginning, which might give us a better way of
bisecting if this shows up again.

Greg, if this shows up again for you locally, can you please try to
track it down.
