Thanks for this, Ken.

I have already started using Stefan's version, and it's working well
for me - haven't had any problems so far with extra garbage characters
not being found & fixed. I can't follow the differences in the code
closely enough to know whose version is "better," but from my point of
view it's great that both of you came up with recipes. And thanks for
posting yours on the Wiki, too.
