I'd definitely be interested in how it could be done better in a  
reasonable amount of time.  I know people are talking about other  
solutions to this problem, but our team here is blocked on this  
issue.  Take the patch out and our build dies.

The key goal of this patch is it is localized and easy to remove if/ 
when someone with a different approach decides to spend the time on  
it.  I don't see any other bugs on this and can't imagine that it has  
any priority.  It's just too much of an edge case.  Having said that,  
I took a balance between getting the bug fixed, making it easy to  
remove when the time is right, and not spending time on a solution  
that others have already started.  It's a good solution given the  
constraints.

I have the build that demonstrates the problem working, just waiting  
for Jason to get some time to help me turn it into an integration test.
