Done.

I also discovered that I wasn't quite the idiot I thought I had been; I
actually tripped over an odd little misfeature of Mozilla that other 
people working the patch queue should know about.

I saw "Rejected" after I thought I had clicked "Accepted" and thought
I had made both a mouse error and a thinko...

What actually happened was I clicked "Accepted" and then tried to page down
my browser.  Unfortunately the choice field was still selected -- and
guess what the last status value in the pulldown menu is, and
what the PgDn key does! :-)

Others should beware of this...
