Okay, here's a patch implementing this idea.  It seems to work quite
well, and it solves the problem in a limited testing scenario -- I
haven't yet tested on the customer machines.

This customer is running on 8.4 so I started from there; should I
backpatch this to 8.2, or not at all?  (I have all the branches ready
