I hit send too soon.  I haven't been able to reproduce the initial problem 
since I removed the patch specification in my config files and unfortunately 
I deleted the patch which was refusing to apply, so I'm at a loss at how to 
make it happen again.  Please disregard this whole mess.

I'll try to post something to the list when at least a few of the goals in the 
checklist are completed.
