The only catch is that the module already works here; it seems to fail only at busier environments, which I only get into once a month or so. As long as we're not in much of a hurry, I can have things set up so that, whenever I hit the problem with the module as it is now, I have a patched module handy to test. So, I'm looking forward to your patches and/or suggestions on what else to try. Just please make sure you Cc: me, so that I won't miss it.
