I've forwarded the attachments from that thread to you off-list.

Basically, that patch was incomplete and didn't handle some states and
transitions. It also wasn't documented clearly, in that it didn't explain
what it *intended* to do. For hairy stuff like this, knowing what the
intention was is more important than the code so we know what is a bug and
what isn't.

Note that the state machine is the main source of information here, the
actual tapping code is just a bunch of switch statements based on the
state.
