[p4dti-discussion] P4DTI and Bugzilla 2.18.3 (CALL#1108491)

[Stephen Vance]

Ok. Now I'm really confused. For each file individually I reversed 
the change and retried with no effect. For each file individually and 
in some combinations I reversed the change, ran checksetup, and it 
started working once all were reversed at once. I then started 
restoring each file to the patched state, and running checksetup, and 
could not get it to break. I now have a working patched copy, but I 
can't tell you how I got there. It's good enough for me for now but 
will require more investigation when I have time. The diff betwen one 
that works and one that doesn't is only a database name and a bunch 
of modtimes in generated templates.
