I came across that this evening as I was obsessing about my options. I'm going to take my frame in to an LBS tomorrow for a hands-on assessment. I spent twice as much on pizza today as I did on this frame, so I figure I can spend a little bit on repair before I'm in the red.
That's the one. I've touched up the frame with nail polish but left the underside light to make any worrisome cracks easier to spot:



If your shop has the Park Tool straightener thingy or something like it, I bet your frame could be made pretty close to original geo.
