That's not a short-term problem, but I think it would be good to do this
with a bit more paranoia at creation time and then rely on the handles
being available in the subsequent code.  Maybe I can get to it later but
it certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings if one of you guys look into it
while I'm abroad. :)
