I added a post to the forum there and referred it back here since I
already answered all the questions you asked (including what the
workaround fixed) in the original e-mail.  I don't feel like reposting
it, and that wouldn't help increase the page rank anyway :)  At this
point, I'm handing this off.  I was trying to actually help the
community by giving something back in what I thought was the right
way.  Sigh.

Sorry, I had thought patches were welcome here, even if they end up
not being accepted.
