I'm not really in a position to do a review right now, but since:

1) 4814 is effectively a duplicate of 2842
2) 4814 has a clear problem decription
3) 4814 has a patch
4) 2842 is old, and confusing

Can we go ahead and close 2842 in favor of 4814?  We have too many old
tickets floating around...

(To be clear, I'm not asking Jason to close this ticket...I'm asking for the
list's opinion)

Also 3833 is at least similar, if not another duplicate.  It would be nice
if it could be worked on and/or closed along with this issue.
