Sorry, I was writing long after midnight, after a frustrating day of 
trying to get a good recording in time for a deadline.  It's 0.39-extended.

No, I *thought* it was rotated 90 degrees, because motion towards upper 
right became towards lower right.  There was too much symmetry otherwise 
to tell if this was a rotation or a flip.  When I made a patch today 
explicitly to test it, it did just turn out to be flipped top-to-bottom, 
which certainly makes sense in terms of what different systems do with 
y.  Even my midnight-befuddled brain was didn't really believe that it 
could swap x and y.
