Ya know, all of this has been real interesting to read - but
since none of it (that I could see) was CCed to the gnats PR
submitter e-mail address, none of it will be considered by
anyone who might have this future problem and be searching the
PR database for a fix, much less anyone who might be looking
through the PR database history for preparing their own PR
on a similar issue.  Not to mention anyone on the actual
bugs team.  (even if a PR is closed you can still add comments
to it, ding dong)

You might say it was a big exercise in linguistic and technical
masterbation.

I hope it was as good for you as it was for us!
