Good to know it didn't break for at least one other person.

It's what "make dist" put in. Since I didn't release 3.3.11 I can't be
certain that it was done in the same way.

The main purpose of the test release was for GNU Make debugging and
some small improvements to bash debugging. Were it not for this, there
probably would not have been a test release at this time.

This is not something related to any change I'm aware of. Also it
doesn't sound like something all that serious either - if there were
no splash screen at all that would be fine too.
