I likely will not have time to test in the coming week or so, however we 
are bringing on another developer that may be able to do so in the next 
few weeks.

That said having watched you put this code into the build AND knowing 
your talent and thoroughness I highly encourage you to commit it as soon 
as you find time.  This will help nanobsd users quite a bit.
