Self-NAKing this change.

I wrote up some test code to help visualize how things were scheduled.
That proved that the old function is pretty broken, but the new
function not only has a typo (using "i" instead of "j" in a few
places) but also suffers from some of the same problems as the old
function.

It might be easy to use the bitmap functions to implement this easily
/ properly.  I'll see if I can do that.
