[tex-live] Problem with 'mathtext' package after update of 'cyrillic' one

[Werner LEMBERG]

Hello David, and – after a looong time – hello Vladimir!

Uh, oh, a ghost from the past!  I can't remember at all that I wrote
\DeclareTextMathSymbol... :-)

Thanks, looks good!  Vladimir, can you add this and quickly do a new
release so that a fix is available in the forthcoming TeXLive release?
IIRC, it was always you who did releases of T2 stuff...
