Sure:

    commit 3b69b121def33bb02d01ba23a7148129ab2aed46
    Author: Daniel Shahaf <d.s at daniel.shahaf.name>

        37831: typeset: Document exit status difference from parameter assignment statements

That patch is buried in the 37609 thread, which is cross-referenced from
this bug via the 'forwarded' metadatum.

Cheers,
