I submitted a patch a month or two ago fixing both these issues.  I
didn't follow up on it enough to get it accepted but I want to try again
at some point.  In retrospect, the way I coded it originally was bad in
several ways and I know exactly how it needs to be done now, I just need
time to do it.  Unfortunately time is something I'm terribly short of
these days.
