I can only echo Mels comments here.  It is very hard to review such a
large patch which mostly is fixing a very small change.  This code is
pretty fragile and would need significant testing, I don't know if Mel
is able to run the same tests we used when putting this together in the
first place.

By the looks of the rest of the thread Kame-san is going to break this
up so I'll wait for that.

Thanks!
