[sldev] Did the latest sim update change the behavior of RequestMultipleObjects?

[Able Whitman]

Ah, thanks. I was going crazy after all.

It was my code for selecting which host to send the RequestMultipleObjects
message to that was broken, due to a bit of code I had commented out when I
was debugging something else. ("I won't forget to uncomment that later...")

Now I feel dumb, but at least I fixed the problem!

Thanks,
--Able
