Actually, I was planing on doing that ;-) I just didn't have the time to
push it through my normal testing.

I'm also curious if you get a bug with only patches 1,2, and 3. That is,
the current jump label doesn't do any testing. It would be interesting
to know if something is happening with the current jump label code that
we do not expect.
