The SA Harav, in the late 18th century, still brings the original rule
as current halacha, with no mention of any change; nor does the GRA
mention anything about a change.  The first reference I have seen to a
change is the Chasam Sofer, in the early 19th century.  I have no
intention of reading this Katz's book; if he says anything relevant,
please say what it is.
