Wah!  I had a bug report on this open for a long time, did some
fixes, asked whether it was fixed, and heard nothing.  I closed the
bug after a long time due to no feedback.

If you're willing to work with me, we can get this problem solved!
I'm looking for people who have a way to simulate rain, perhaps with
a hose tie-wrapped up there or something, so that we can proceeed
with debug of this problem at a reasonable rate.  I don't have any
type of weather station, so debugging it myself is not an option.  I
need help on this one.

Put this in as a bug report on SourceForge please if it's a real
bug.  I'm a coder, not a weather guy.  Anyone else have input on
this?
