https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/6784 went in while I was on vacation. I'm a little confused; I thought we no longer patched libevent locally? This is certainly going to be a problem as we move to external dependencies; we won't have a way of pulling in this change (whether using the bundled libevent or not). I don't think we should have this patch locally in master, because we're going to lose it in the next couple of weeks with the configure changes I'm hopefully near completing.
