This should never be an issue on a properly installed
system (assuming slackpkg is installed on the system),
but it doesn't hurt anything either to be safe.
** This was my mistake; my mail client munged the patch, so
I had to apply it all by hand. The extra (old) line of
'showmenu' options was what I'd copied to compare the
new options, and I forgot to delete it when committing.
Mea culpa. --rworkman
