Indeed, that was very much my fault, and that's why when I noticed my
mistake, I posted a follow-up patch.  I see you already fixed it too.

Maybe the sysinfo check would be good, or maybe it's just for me--I
don't want to inflict more overhead for others due to a problem with a
specific person (that is, me).

In the future, I'll just make sure to attach sysinfo for any future
vid/did additions.
