*shrug*  Splitting up patches mostly just makes them easier to review, and 
makes it so that if somebody narrows down bad behavior to a specific checkin 
we can figure out what the heck the patch in question did.  This one's small 
enough that neither is a major problem, in this instance.

(You can split patches down so far that it takes more work to review them just 
because of the granularity, too.  Not that that's necessarily relevant here 
either... :)
