I noticed this.  make_editMesh() sets a few flags...  Does anyone know what 
these do?  A flag could be added to make_editMesh_real() to skip that if 
called from undo_push_mesh().

The above method might allow us to fix that.

Everone start compiling a list.  Unfortunatly, the way the editmehs undo 
works, it's going to have to be tackled on a case-by-case basis.

(I normally delete my .sigs from mailing lists, but this one seemed rather 
appropriate for this e-mail....)
