This was broken in a bad merge here: [8fc0e1d76dbb9fe6606e444eae9328f937a49d67].

From GitHub:

What I really feel bad about is that both problems could have been avoided if we had at least some very basic tests both for FISH, which is now basically unmaintainable, because one can't change a single letter there without fear of breaking everything, and patchfs, where a stupid syntax mistake could have been avoided if the syntax was checked.

Now, if we simply commit the patches and close the tickets, exactly the same will happen again and again. Since nobody is testing master, and we don't have enough resources to test it properly, every next release will keep bringing such surprises.

See also my comments in #3611, can we reopen this ticket to add a simple autotools test to make check that tests whether the syntax of the Perl files is correct?

Created #3636 regarding the tests.
