Hi HJ,

My biggest complaint about almost every patch you post is that you
don't explain what you're doing.  What does "odd" mean here?  What does
it look like before and after?  Is anything actually wrong?  Some bits
of this patch are pretty obvious, but some I couldn't figure out by
looking at them.
