Tried the new version of rebase. Did not fix the problem.
Tried rebase -s -i. No asterisks, so presumably no collisions.
Tried uninstalling Sophos. Did not fix the problem.
Tried the 2011-11-08 snapshot. Seems to fix the problem!
I'm not comfortable deploying a snapshot throughout the building,
though. I will roll back to 1.5 for now and wait for that snapshot to
make it to a release. Thanks!
