Sorry -- it was on the 2.2.2 wiki since the day it was created.  Plus, I've
been out of town much of the time since then.

I would appreciate it.  This is something of a pet bug, since it is the
single thing in 2.2.2 that will break a fairly large application that we
have developed.  For somewhat complex reasons, there is no easy
work-around for it.
