Sorry for the delay, Prarit.  I started looking at this when you first
posted it.  The more I looked at it, the less I liked the setup/free
paths -- they're not very parallel and I don't remember what else.

But I guess it's probably a longer term effort to clean that up.

Do you have a bug report or anything for this, or did you just find
this by code inspection?  If there's a bugzilla or even a symptom, we
could mention it in the changelog.
