I updated my "development" machines from main-n267169-5bc10feacc9d to
main-n267215-3334a537ed38 this morning; I did not see the problem you
cite.

One of those machines is a laptop (with which I interacted directly);
I used ssh to login to the other two (from that laptop).

I note, though, that that laptop (which I use the most) is (mostly)
over 9 years old, so it may not be caught up in some of the more recent
... "hardware fashions" that tend to make using such devices a bit more
"interesting" than one might expect.

(Gory details of updating process & history at

Peace,
david
