Yep, I had originally been careful to maintain the previous "0 means
ignore" behavior, but was convinced that, even if it temporarily
uncovered some bugs, it was worth it in the long run to do it correctly.
I had expected there would be some fallout that wasn't uncovered
immediately (I thought it had all been revealed earlier when Doug and
Guido found/fixed a similar problem with session mode libvirt, though.
Sigh.)
