Actually, never mind this. There has clearly been some confusion in this
area related to "wildcard hash" (which does not really seem to be a
wildcard, but something quite different and this really needs to be
renamed and commented better). It looks like it will be simplest to
apply these patches first and then fix the remaining issues separately.
