Maybe my tone was unclear, but I'm not hugely keen to provide more
effort on this -- despite being interested -- because I feel like I've
been running errands to try to find a good path through, when in fact
I don't really understand the nature of the problem, nor am I likely
to benefit much from it.  But if improvement is possible, I'll do what
I can.

That said: perhaps it could be useful if someone could check whether
the following commit is relevant to this:
