This is such a useful tip, for a problem which can bite people using MQ
so often, that it deserves a place in the wiki, if it's not already
there.  I can't do this tonight (i.e. if you beat me to it it should be
fine), but can you please check that this is listed in a promiment place
in the MQ section of the wiki and add it if it's not already there?

Thanks in advance,
