Nice.  (Especially how you tracked down the relevant change, which will 
make the patch/report much easier to review.)

And while people wait for the fix, they (in the US) might want to look at:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149396

specifically a 3TB Toshiba 7200RPM retail kit for $99.99.  (Even better 
price per gigabyte than the 2TB HDDs that sold for $69.99 before the 
flood.  And, FWIW, this is the 2nd time I've seen this price on a 3TB.)  
IMHO, still /much/ easier than spending my time editing recordings (to 
place and/or verify cuts) and my computer's time (and electricity) 
cutting recordings that will just be deleted after I watch them, 
anyway.  But even for those who continue to cut, it may be useful to 
have additional storage.
