I'll do it now. The first time I applied it on my own setup it told me
it was reindexing the registry, which made me nervous again, but it only
did that once, and didn't lose any data. What I think actually happened
is that the fixup-registry routines ran and updated the :tracked slot
and saved it properly, which might not have been happening before.

Thanks for your continued patience with these problems. Don't
give up on the registry!
