Ahh, sorry about that...

Yes, I thought about doing that; or perhaps 2 patches - one for the interface change across all arches and core code, and one for the actual bug fix? But I thought the arch people might prefer to see exactly what's going on in each arch. Let me know the preference and I can repost if necessary. >
