So when was the "col_clear()" call made?  Was it made after the "RAS: 
InfoRequest" was prepended?  And was the "fence" ever set?

The way "col_clear()" is supposed to work is that it's supposed to 
clear out everything in the column *after the fence*; it doesn't clear 
the entire column.  If the fence hasn't been set, it clears the entire 
column.
