Sorry about that.  Apparently I checked in the wrong file.  :-(
Unfortunately I can't find the fixed one.  However, I did find a rant
I never posted which went into gory detail about why the patch I
removed was so objectionable, so it shouldn't be a problem to fix.
I'll take care of adding the feature back in the next couple of days.
