Hmm.  This rather violates the idea of putting things into -CURRENT
first.  Wouldn't it make more sense to merge this with my stuff in
-CURRENT (once the feature freeze is over) and then MFC the whole mess
to -STABLE?

How did that happen?  This suggests that somebody put something into
-STABLE without putting it into -CURRENT.  Or do you just mean that
they're different?

Given the feature freeze, and the fact that I'm in India, how about
putting this off by a week until I'm back home, and I'll take a look
at it?  But don't feel obliged: feel free to improve on what I did in
-CURRENT.
