Actually, it runs and appears to be correct, but it most likely broke all kinds
of things I didn't think of... some of the bits from the dark ages of v2 and
possibly even v1 were diddled with quickly without looking too deeply into
exactly what was happening... any time you do that, you can almost guarantee
something broke.  If it ONLY broke it for BE stuff that's be fine, but there's
a good chance (I'd say around 80%) that it would ALSO break something on x86
stuff.  Because of that, it's not something to dump in just before a branch is
closed for new development.  :-)
