Yes, thanks for the patch.  My first attempt resulted in a system which
would not respond anymore.  I did not have access to the console at the
time, so I am not sure why yet.  If it happens again, I'll have some data to
go along with it.  Once I get a working test, I should have some profiles
and throughput results.

Thanks again,

-Andrew
