Seems like a lot of people are doing double work here :-)

I already had a fix for this from Micha Nelissen, but it hasn't been
committed yet. Tonight I plan to commit all remaining patches.

But I'm afraid this is not yet the end of it. The TDataset buffering
mechanism needs some serious work done... If I'm correct, Joost Van Der
Sluis (?) also wanted to do some work on it.
