I don't have a CURRENT machine to test this on.  FoxtrotGPS works fine
on 9.1-RELEASE, without the patch.  What's the difference between 9.1
and -CURRENT that would cause this to break?

For what it's worth, my initial testing shows that map tile downloads
seem to work fine on 9.1-RELEASE with the patch applied, too.
