I humbly appreciate your patch, sir. I am really sorry to be in the position of having to tell you this, but earlier the Emperor Penguin himself gave me this shiny blue baseball bat and told me to show it to any deserving person. Could you please come closer and kindly extend your neck a little bit more, so I can swing it well at your head...

  I agree with you in principle and that is why I always run
  applymbox with the -q flag.  Maybe I should start trying the
  baseball bat approach to see what happens.

;-)

Anyway, I have merged your fix and pushed it out. Thanks for the patch.
