Sorry for the delay.  I've been on vacation and I'm still getting caught
up at work (being at the tail end of a new release tends to dominate my
time), let along working on anything else.  The last I looked into this

hiding in some section which isn't being rebased.  Gimme a few more days
to get my head above water and I'll get more details on it.
