If this works I'd like to just see it committed. It'll fix some known 
bizarre failure cases on the autobuild cluster and doesn't hurt anything
currently existing.

If people who have "grander" plans want to step up with patches later then
by all means those should be evaluated but right now we have a real problem,
have a workable solution within existing frameworks, etc.
