The 'To avoid this...' sentence here doesn't read well.  Looks like you
need to:

s/otherwise//
s/populated/populate/

?

Thanks for digging inot this bug Jon.  The same bug was brought up by
Neil Brown (Cc'd) in a different thread.

Neil, it looks to me that this fix will address the problems you were
seeing as well.  Care to test, and respond with your ack/tested-by if it
works for you?  Thanks.

Kevin
