Understood. I'm more than a little embarrassed that these keep getting obvious errors that didn't appear in my own testing. I guess my only excuse is that these patches consistently get put on the back burner and get revisited when someone asks me about them. Unfortunately, sometimes it means I end up finding patches on my development nodes that have been obsoleted by versions that I've fixed already.
Ugh.
