Greg,

I understand youÍ're on your way home from Japan and are getting ready to
work through the 3.16 patch queue.

Could you please discard this one for now? I've found a couple of more
PM related problems and I'll submit a slight update of this one as part
of a larger series of fixes instead.

Thanks,
Johan
