When I did this in the past, I was asked not to commit
so many changes individually, but rather, to merge them
in as a batch.

I'll do that when I can, but when bugs are tricky (which this
one was) I don't really know when the fix "ends".  I often
later find glitches in what I at first thought was a complete
bugfix or feature.  This is almost always before I merge
in a batch of changes, but sometimes it's even after that.

Thanks for backporting the fix, and sorry it was such a hassle.
