Yeah, I can easily build and test patches here, at my workplace at home.
The only catch is that the module already works here; it seems to fail
only at busier environments, which I only get into once a month or so.
As long as we're not in much of a hurry, I can have things set up so
that, whenever I hit the problem with the module as it is now, I have a
patched module handy to test.  So, I'm looking forward to your patches
and/or suggestions on what else to try.  Just please make sure you Cc:
me, so that I won't miss it.

Thanks a lot!
