What I suspect is going on here is that we've got a latent
bug in the RTL IV code. The patches referenced above merely
expose instances of that underlying latent bug.
I'm still trying to learn my way around the RTL IV code, if
I can't figure it out pretty quickly I'll have to hand this off
to Zdenek.
