Yeah; that's functionally equivalent to the patch I sent -- Derrick and I 
reconstructed this over the phone when it became apparent my message was 
stuck in a mail queue somewhere.

Note that while I think this may fix the problem, I don't have an easy way 
to reproduce the problem and test the fix.  We'll also need a certain 
amount of testing to be convinced this doesn't have any unintended 
side-effects.
