I have some of Heidemann's code that runs into the problem, but I don't have any that I can redistribute. Would it be OK if I asked John to send you his code as well, if you will abide with the non-redistribution requirement? I understand the prioritization process, and FWIW, I agree with it, in a resource-starved situation (e.g.g FreeBSD).
