Well I read the RFC's, but it still wasn't all that obvious to me what was
going on here.  Anyway, I broke out Stevens, read pp104-105, and well, a
picture is worth a thousand words:

In this figure, # denotes the pointer field.

  dest = D
 {#R1,R2,R3}
     |
     v
   +---+ dest = R1  +----+ dest = R2  +----+ dest = R3  +----+ dest = D   +---+
   | S |----------->| R1 |----------->| R2 |----------->| R3 |----------->| D |
   +---+ {#R2,R3,D} +----+ {R1,#R3,D} +----+ {R1,R2,#D} +----+ {R1,R2,R3#}+---+

So now it's clear to me.
