Hmm -- that's an interesting trick.  I'd never tried that.  I too find
Savannah glacially slow.

Actually, I don't have it covered.  I haven't looked at these things at all.
My plan was to accept the patches, build, and run the regtests, and find
things when they broke.

Actually, I asked the frogs to run the regtests.  So I'd guess that they'd
find it and ask for help.
