I was chatting with John as soon as Al pointed out the problem and
suggested we look at something like this.  I am glad you were able to
crank it out so readily.  Thank you!

Barring a more elegant solution, I think just holding nameidata down
until the watches are added is the way to go.  We will test this and
then merge it into the next patch.

Thanks,
