All right, test is now at 1.10.2-rc2, devel will auto-rebuild in an hour
or so.

This and the config_query fixes that went in a few days ago are both
fairly critical and fairly small changes. So I'd like to slim down the
test bake time a little from last round. But I'd also like to make sure
that 1) consensus is okay with that and 2) we have several people test
this on test sorcery other than myself.

Since I've added /bin/true to protected, anyone with an infected init.d
running test should be able to recast without problems (I tried and it
worked). However I want more eyes than just my own looking at this and
testing it before I commit another stable release. I don't want to have to
re-release a day later if theres a problem that snuck in under my nose.
