Comment:

 I just pushed another commit to my bug1992 to handle the caching notion
 differently. Perhaps you'll like it more.

 I started off not feeling strongly about 0.2.4 vs 0.2.5, but now that I
 think about it, I think 0.2.4 might be smarter -- mostly since we've both
 looked at the patch recently, and if we wait til 0.2.5 that might turn
 bad.

 I'm increasingly realizing that we have like 3 places that cache some sort
 of address guess, and 3 places that log when it changes. Some refactoring
 would be in order -- and that refactoring sounds like an 0.2.5 thing.
 Whereas #1992 and #2410 are actual bugs.
