Thanks for the reply, Joel.

Yep, I tried tracing, and also messed with DISTRIBUTED_TRANSACTIONS on
the 8 side. Tried bumping it up to 80, also tried reducing it to zero.
No impact either way. I knew this was a long shot, but I always work
under the assumption that "there are unknown unknowns" so hate to give
up without checking around.
