I was a little bit hasty in posting. I hadn't yet run the patch
through my test suite, and it turned up a problem with renaming
directories. Against a clean 2.1.116, here is the patch that seems
to fix the renaming problem without introducing new problems. I
apologize for prematurely sending the previous patch.
