We need a fix for the stable branch.  This should be the most 
straightforward, least bug-prone solution.  In particular it should be 
simple enough that I can understand it (unless Greg has some time this

For the development branch we can have a more ambitious plan.  Of course 
we can start with the simple solution and work from there.
