Looks like it made it through.  Suggest inlining your patches next
time instead of using attachments, sometimes the list code may filter
on those.

I looked through the patches and grok the syntax, but the finer
details aren't clear to me yet.  Maybe some of the other devs
(gozer,steve,torsten) can comment on them.  I'll hold rc2 for a few
days to give them a chance to respond.

Thanks for the contribution.  Anyone else here see those errors
previously, or can reproduce them now?
