[LLVMdev] cvs opt broken?

[Ryan M. Lefever]

PR1317 says that it is resolved.  Looking at the details of the report, 
it says that a fix had been committed for the "instant case."  Am I 
right that means a fix has been submitted that makes LLVMHello work with 
opt, but that the general problem has not been resolved and is reported 
in PR1318?
