Excellent.  I know how frustrating these types of bugs can be to track 
down.

This may be a cut-and-paste error.  The machdep code has been cloned many 
many times and each time it gestates just a little bit more.  It's a pity 
it can't be done in a more maintainable manner, but sometimes these things 
are just too different...

I suggest you either knock up a patch and post it here, or file a PR 
describing the errors.

Suggestions are always welcome; patches even more so :-)
