I could not understand how this could be if the tests and other code 
were unchanged, so I applied the ASM-only patch and investigated the 
first failure running nasgen. And of course the problem is the 
NestHost/NestMembers attributes! We modified our internal version of ASM 
to add nestmate support, but of course this update removes that and 
replaces it with the official support. But the official support is only 
enabled for ASMv7 so we must update all users of ASM to request version 7.

Thanks,
David
