If you have a chance, could you do me a favor and test my -v3 version
of the patch?  It should work just as well as yours, but I'm getting
paranoid in my old age, and you seem to have a reliable way of testing
for this failure.  I still need to figure out why my kvm based
approach isn't showing the problem....
