Which I calculate is 20.31 hours

Approximately 19 tickets were reviewed, and 6 patches were
applied

This week I re-worked the safesyscalls patch from [perl #117265].  The
original version of this patch croaked when the caller supplied a
filename with NULs in the context of use warnings.  I re-worked the
patch adding tests and correcting the handling for functions that take
multiple names.
