[Developers] The Bolker Bugs

[John Sibert]

Dave sent me some code that appears to fix the issues that Ben Bolker 
turned up. I implemented them and they seem to work on Ben's tpl. They 
have been committed to the repo as revision 364, but they have not been 
tested and the as Hans notes, the buildbot won't give it a satisfactory 
test either.
