Time for ScottK to eat crow.  Andrea, you have my apology.  I went back and 
checked my notes (which I should have done before posting the first time) and 
what I said here was incorrect.  I'm sorry.

Andrea is correct that those are the two items of his I touched.  I had mixed 
up his merge with another I did (which did have problems).  Please disregard 
my complaints above.
