Yes, that's correct - right near where it attaches to the shifter (not exactly sure how far away as I haven't actually opened up the shifter to have a closer look. I use my rear shifter quite a bit, so I guess I'm not surprised it broke there.
No commuting for me today, but I'll try to get to the LBS tonight to get it fixed.
Thanks for the help everyone.
