The suggestion may be overkill as we don't need unique majors for each
controller right now (that may change if people need more than a
million generic handles, but I think we're a ways off from that reality).

The following on top of your patch makes it all work for me. Also, I
don't think we should abort adding the namespace if the generic handle
fails, so that's included here too:
