Actually, wait a minute: both the documentation and the commit
message claim the new behavior is something different than what it
actually is.  The intention seems to have been to change the
behavior only for the conn == NULL case.  So maybe we need to
fix it as attached.  This'd still be broken for the
multiple-libraries scenario, but I admit that that's pretty
hypothetical.

Tom,

   I was in the process of drafting a reply, but this new patch seems to resolve my issues with the documentation and functionality. I really appreciate you looking into this and I am good with this patch.

Thanks,
   Heath
