Oh dang, I looked at the former and didn't parse it right, because...

I tried that, and there was no entry for Cache-Limit in mine. Was there in

To the extent you remember how to do this (exactly) could you write it up
and post it? I'll drop it on a web page so it can google-propagate. This
clearly needs to be documented...
	And thanks for figuring out the exact procedure. I'm sure I'll
need to know some day!
