This is quite a bit different than just calling ops.query_gid() - why
are you changing it? I'm not sure all the additional tests will pass,
the 0 gid entry is not required to be valid..

And I would much prefer things be re-organized so the cache can be
valid sooner to adding this variable. What is the earlier call that is
motivating this?
