Hm, are you sure there are no dependencies between those two guys?  I
don't feel good here.  (Checking...)  Hm, seems to be OK.

I really don't like having to do that.  Could the fact that we are
using a macro for the dependency be responsible?  Harlan, what happens
if you replace the macro invocation with its value?
