I took it back to the BP and they'll be re-patching it from the inside next week.

jstar, I've noticed that some of the more pertinent threads (like yours) get ignored while others, banal as can be, get tremendous attention. I think that this discrepancy has to do with timing---with who happens to be logged at a given time---but has even more to do with how a thread is titled. I try to keep mine brief, a bit ambiguous, and a little funny. If even one person thought of Long Duck Dong from Sixteen Candles saying "Lake, big lake." Well, then I did my job....Anyhow, my dog's whining.

Thanks to all for your thoughtful comments.
