D'oh.  I was off by one in my thinking.  Thanks for reminding me of
the basics.  Been a bad week for phil's brain.

Before I tweak the patch back to its original pre-submission state, I'm
going to sit down and find out exactly what the registry key is used for
(ahh, one more piece of knowledge I had no interest in, for a platform
that scares me :-).  It makes sense to me that it's the host, especially
if the key records the $prefix or some such.
