My concerns aren't with the code per se but with the lack of explicit analysis 
offered about the immediate problems and concerns about generalising a fix 
beyond those facts. It's not that I don't reckon you've done that, but as a 
reviewer I'd prefer to have the root cause and fix analysis fleshed out, which 
I understand to be what advocates also now require (thus what I wrote up for 
5133 in the issue tracker is quite extensive by comparison, where most of the 
detail was provided at RTI).

That's to say I grant that what I'm asking is a matter of preference, but I 
take my preferences to be consistent with the bar for RTI and no less relevant 
at this stage.
