I obviously can't argue this isn't a bad hack, but it works, as far as
I can tell it has no serious side effects, so I moved on to other
things.
Or, in the words of Phil Barnett:
"While it would be nice to spend days figuring it out, I spent minutes
and got past it."
Not that --delmode would have taken days, but once I hacked it, my
desire to go farther evaporated.
