So, err, putting that together and reviewing the state of the world:

I still think David's 1/ patch is good.

I think my comments on 2/ are still applicable, apart from the
bits where I suggest using a transaction will fix all this.

David: do you now intend to revise 2/ according to our comments ?

Everyone else: is there some reason we shouldn't commit 1/
immediately ?

Ian.
