This patch is a stretch for the 0.16.x branch, although this is
something which has annoyed me as well.  I've applied it anyway, but
only after close inspection.

Last call for patches or bug reports for 0.16.1 - I'll release 0.16.2 in
a few days if I hear nothing.  (I also have to sort out a CVS issue - I
may not have committed the new code when I released 0.16.1.)
