I'll try to find time to try it later today, but I'm in the middle of
budget wrangling and I can't make any promises.

Before I try, will these patches apply to the twe driver in
9.1-PRERELEASE? My system with twe was updated to RELENG_9 on July 18.
I really don't have time to install current right now.
