Built and installed 2.78 plus that patch, ~4 hours ago on my personal 
system, works as intended without any sign of trouble on 219 messages, 
all single-rcpt.

Doing the build reminded me of a longstanding unreported bug in 
t/unit/dates.t, in the rfc2822_date_works test. It assumes that it is 
using the GNU/Linux implementation of 'date' or another which includes 
'unrecognized' in the error message when it is given a bad option. BSD 
'date' accepts no 'long' options and says "date: illegal option -- -" so 
it breaks this. A quick and dirty hack is to add '|illegal' to the 
pattern match in the existing test, but frankly the whole model of 
looking for specific words in a merged stdout+stderr is a bit shabby. 
Here's an alternative, using a highly portable 'date' command and 
determining its success based simply on the return value:

--- t/unit/dates.t.orig	2015-04-29 00:05:30.000000000 -0400
+++ t/unit/dates.t	2015-04-29 00:02:30.000000000 -0400
