We know you need to have the PR# number on the first line of the subject. 
This is why Thomas duplicated it (and I move it to the beginning).

At one time JitterBug had a higher version number than R, and at around 
that time it seemed to be orphaned.  Now R > 2.4.0, and JitterBug is still 
at 1.6.2.
