Well, if documenting it once saves someone a headache and a few hours of 
their time, it's probably worth it.

Seems like everyone understands now what the problem is, that it sucks, 
and it can't be fixed lower down the stack :)  Thanks for explaining

be that hard, just makes things a little more complicated to maintain.
