While reviewing this patch for conflicts that Neil reported (seems to
have something to do with my local CVS repository. I think I need to
switch back to using the network based CVS repo and just stop diffing
things when not connected or during travel), I found a case where this
simply breaks functionality completely.

So please ignore this patch compeltely.
