I agree that the patches aren't the perfect solution. As I said, they were
a quick and dirty hack. When I posted them, I received a commment from
Garrett Wollman (which I never answered, sorry Garrett), who also didn't
like them.

Also agreed. I did it that way because although I didn't like the double
queuing, it should have worked, and I didn't find any obvious error.

Yes, that would be a nice approach.

I have *tons* of "real" work to do right now, but I'll test it as soon as
I can.
