Hi, again.

Part of the delay in responding to this one, has been the fact that 
originally meltodwn_safe() was being used in two places (which is why it 
was broken out). But that isn't true anymore, and this patch is 
effectively just fluff, so it seemed appropriate for the chopping block 
too, which is what i'm planning.
