Thanks for the welcome, but being a member feels *terrible*. :-)

Fair point. But maybe the bigger issue is the work involved. I don't
think zeroing the hole in all cases would likely be that expensive,
but finding everything that can cause the standby to diverge from the
primary and fixing all of it sounds like an unpleasant amount of
effort. Still, it's good to know that I'm not missing something
obvious.
