    Excellent!  Yes, please do take care of the MFC too.

    I see how I screwed up... I blithly assumed that because the line was
    uninitialized that I could simply move it inside the for() loop.  The
    code was broken before, my original commit just made it broken in a 
    persistent fashion rather then a random fashion.
