Pavel,
Based on feedback from from Alan, Stephen Tweedie,
and Matt, I'm not going to apply this patch.
It's apparently based on emails that Matt and I
wrote last Saturday-Sunday, so I see how you came
up with the patch. We didn't think it through
completely. Anyway, they are right, we don't
want to hide problems, we want to solve them.
