Damn, sorry.  It really sucks not having a 2.1.5 box I can hose over
for testing.  That's the exact same patch I applied to 2.2 ages ago. :-(

  Apparently, yes.

  I don't know, but Bill posted a patch that supposedly fixes the patch.
  It's appended below.  I'm now updating a test box to 2.1.5 (it's a slow
  beast) and will test it out to make sure it works, but so far we've had
  2-3 reports of brokeness w/out the patch, and one good report of Bill's
  patch fixing the problem.
