Errr... sure, but I may be ignorant, but I'm not obtuse. Not as far as I
know, anyway. What I am is sleep-deprived. (It takes a special kind of
nervous wreck to be kept awake by a problem like this, that has never
happened in many years of my using md/raid. I think I'll be kept awake
by the possibility of an asteroid strike or a second Carrington Event
tonight.)

Sure! I'm generating untested patches now, is that better? (Probably
not. But they do solve this problem enough to reduce the worry quotient
without actually doing the much-more-complex repair side of things.)
