The Power failure is still a failure and should be fixed.

Please checkin all three patches *without* the testsuite addition.

I want to avoid people working with a stable branch having testsuite failures
show up out of thin air because we fixed a bug. That's OK for trunk, but not OK
for a stable branch. The new testsuite failure is difficult and time-consuming
for non-experts to diagnose. We hide this by fixing the bug, and using the
regression test to verify the fix, but then dropping the testcase from the
backport.
