This looks like a nice bug fix - thanks!

Allow me to ask a question, but I hope you will be happy to answer yes
or no, either way, as you see it.

The question is:

  Would it be easy to split this patch into two pieces, where:
  1) the first piece contains the restructuring (but is still buggy), and
  2) the second piece has just the bug fix?

If that would be easy, that might make a nice way to present this fix.

If that would not be so easy, that's ok ... I can still review easily
enough.  I'll just have to drink an extra cup of coffee first, to make
my mind a little more alert <grin>.
