From Justin Casey (IBM)

When using a local inventory service, this patch stops items held in the
root 'my inventory' folder from 'disappearing' on server restart.
They were actually still there, we just weren't retrieving them.
>From looking at the grid inventory server, the bug probably still exists
in there.
But I wanted to get this patch in first and consult with MW about the grid
fix (he may be planning to change the area extensively soon).
