I was having a lot of problems with the system that included regression 
test issues, and yelped about this one earlier than I normally would 
because it was blocking work I wanted to get submitted today.  Sorry 
about the noise, and thanks for the info about why this was happening.  
The way you've explained it now, I see why it's not worth adding a 
specific regression test for this in the future, and what else I should 
have checked when I ran into my problem (that other system stats views 
were also working or not).
