  That definitely helps, but I'm wondering if this
behavior was implemented between 1.3 and 2.0?  I can
provide an example where both the DeferredList's
errback and callback are called on 1.3 when any one of
the DeferredList's Deferreds err -- without setting
fireOnErrback.  I'll grab 2.1 tonight and see if I can
reproduce it there.

Thanks,
Lenny
