Right.  After going through this, I found out that it is actually a NULL check
firing, not a 0 check (see my posted patch for details).  That being said, a
patch of the type posted here might be worthwhile; it would short-circuit the
rest of the calls through the stack, and in particular would avoid on-the-wire
calls in the remote case, to do essentially no work.  I think it would be a nice
optimization for all of the List type operations, but not necessarily required.
