I'll doublecheck this, but basically I'm really adverse to diverging
from Linux in this area -- hence that's why I did what I did in the PR
I mentioned.

Unfortunately I'm not right now :(. Anthony may or may not be able to
test this out (I used his machine when we were hacking around on IB
stuff).

Can you please pass along a patch to Anthony and me so we can try and
apply it to test it out (Gmail's going to taint the inline patch, as
is the EMC Exchange server with the patch attachment)? If Anthony
still has the machine setup, then I'd be more than happy to test out
the patch :).

Thanks!
