Matthew,
You are right, of course, we're not doing something right
if a new machine needs this workaround.

However, we don't yet know what we're not doing right:-)

Until we figure that out, the blacklist is a practical way
forward.  There have been several cases in the past where
we grew a blacklist -- some of them quite large,
before we figured out what bug-compatibility
magic we needed in order to delete the blacklist.
I'm hopeful the same story will play out here.

applied.

thanks,
-Len
