I copied code from the /* Handle textual modifications */ block just below
this.  If there's a problem with the copyfrom initialization here, it
predates my edits.

My guess is that this code has worked fine because while
change->copyfrom_path may not be "valid" (in the semantic,
information-carrying sense) it is also not filled with random junk.  FSFS
always fills it with valid stuff; BDB initializes the whole CHANGE structure
with zeroes.  Still, we clearly need to locally ensure that the bits are
valid.  I'll do so in a subsequent commit.

I re-added it in r1339154.  Thanks for pointing that out.
