After posting a message on the w.bloggar forums, someone responded with a link to the solution. From there, I followed some more links, and found exactly what I was looking for. At the end of the day, I'm irritated with myself for not finding this earlier. Scott had a fix out for this problem since at *least* July, 2004. Live and learn.
