Well, in case it's not obvious by now:  The way to get bad code upstream
is to send a patch that combines many changes (the more the better) so
that any potential reviewer has no idea which change is meant by which
hunk and then to make sure Andrew picks it up so he'll hound the
subsystem Maintainer until it's applied.  Best of all, mention that it
fixes a bug and you're made.

In this case, the problems with the changes weren't obvious to me until
I saw the broken out diff for the backport. (And incidentally, never
send URLs to code; 95% of people don't click on them.  If you inline the
code, most people at least glance over it).

The odd thing is, it should have triggered a might_sleep() warning under
testing ... do you know why it didn't?
