OK.

FWIW, one case where this became a problem was when we were using 
PUT/GET accesses were issued from window memory to window memory.  Even 
for PUT/GET accesses, the origin accesses are considered load/store 
accesses; only the target accesses are considered RMA accesses.

One of the applications that ran into this was our bio assembly 
application.  Another was some secretive application Bill's student is 
working on, which I don't know all the details of (I can get more 
details, depending on how much she's permitted to say, if there is 
interest).
