This is a case of me losing track of time and not getting around to the 
merge.  As far as I know the code in question works properly.  I will try 
to merge it soon.  If another committer would like to handle the merge for 
me to get it done sooner, please speak up. :)

Sorry for the delay,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
