Sorry, but it has been a long time that I have no more detail than
the above handy.  Older CI history might know more, but I have no
time to dig that right now (and I'd be just as efficient as you
would for doing such things).

I can try including it in one of the today's pushout of 'seen' and
see what breaks, which would be the easiest ;-)

Thanks for pinging.
