Oh ok. I'll remove it.

It was a feature that the Radstone folk wanted to allow, although they
had no application for it at the time. I can probably just remove that
code for now - if they ever do want to add that support, it would be
a separate patch.

I'll retest with the above code removed and submit a new patch.
