Hmm, I don't think so.

That is, that line "Not suitable: false value" indicates that the  
provider isn't suitable, it's just not very informative.

I'm pretty confused as to why it says that and then goes on to work,  
though.  This original problem kinda got lost in my goal of describing  
how the 'confine' stuff works.  That'd be a good thing to figure out  
the cause of.
