	Yes... it is a little silly, I'm guessing Greg et. al. Just didn't
want to mess with it.  I'm sure with a little work, this issue could be

	Can you get this to happen reliably so I can try to duplicate it?
Maybe there is a problem with malformed protocol requests...  I tried a
few times with auplay and couldn't get it to happen...
