I've come up with an alternate method to resolve the problem in
RetrieveTouchDeliveryData -- instead of using the resource database to
go find the grab structure, I just stuck a pointer in the
TouchListener directly. This also offered the opportunity to clean up
the num_grab counting a bit.
The first patch in this series pulls the TouchListener structure
declaration to the top-level, the second patch is the interesting one.
