Ah, yes, I see (and thanks for fixing it up).

Although I need to ask, since I think I made legitimate use of the tools
given to me. What should I have done instead? Post an RFC patch (even
though I didn't know whether it worked or not) in a thread separate to
the debugging session? I didn't want to diverge from the thread reporting
the issue. Maybe we should have started a new thread, decoupled from the
patch?
