Hi Jim,

Just a small note to say that I'm going to follow your advice and
commit these original patches (and test codes) before too much time
elapses.  I've re-tested the code on the current CVS snapshot and it
doesn't cause any extra regression failures.  I guess I'd just like to
flag this as about to happen..

regards,
Gaius
