The next exchange in this thread were too large to make it past the
kernel.org size limits.  They contain all of the off-list traffic
the Dee had in his archive and my responses to it.

I've archived these two mails myself for public benefit -- they were
intended to be public after all.

There's a few lessons here:

1) Insist on staying on-list.  Dee's help drifted away when the
problems weren't solved.  No-one else saw the traffic, so could
not step in.

2) Trim replies. :-)  Good G*d, these were hard to read without
missing details.

3) Persevere.
