Well- if the people reporting problems can't send mail saying what they are, I
can't fix the issue. I'm a little ticked that all I get was mail from Frank
saying "it broke things" with zero details. Was there mail from someone other
than Frank? ICB does *not* count as information. I searched a couple of the
mail lists but saw nothing.

Like I said, I'll do some more testing, but w/o supporting details and knowing
what this does, I'm inclined to think this is not the actual issue. Since the
problems it solves were agreed upon by Manuel and Jason and I, I'm inclined to
think that the change is reasonable.
