These two lines fail to build with gcc 4.1 ("unknown field 'content'
specified in initializer"), which I've deliberately tried as a last
minute post-commit, pre-push check. I therefore reverted this change
before pushing.

Paul, Jürgen - please advise how to proceed, considering today's
deadline. I'd accept pushing the rest of the series, if a fix for
the issue will then still be permitted in later. Otherwise I'd have
to wait for a fixed (incremental) version.
