    Would it be equivalent to check fetchStatus[tid] == Squashing here?  I know 
the name of the flag is not perfect, but it seems wrong to check a flag called 
"delayedCommit" in the fetch stage.  Checking fetchStatus seems more intuitive.

    If this really is necessary, it at least needs a comment explaining why.
