Yep, that's exactly what I was looking for.  Expected a timeframe
(perhaps one or five minutes) rather than a collection count, but as
long as the check is well-written, I don't think that's a problem.  I
have done very little diving into Java's source code, so I can't comment
about how good it is.

Thanks,
