Nesting withExtDeclHandler

Hi all,
While trying to do some analysis with the TravMonad I wrote some code that
looked like so:
withExtDeclHandler (analyseAST cTranslUnit) handleFun
handleFun (DeclEvent (FunctionDef (FunDef varDecl bodyStat info)) =
modifyUserState update
withExtDeclHandler (analyseFunctionBody info varDecl bodyStat)
recordLocalEvents
return ()
recordLocalEvents (LocalEvent ...) =
modifyUserState recordEvent
That is, I was doing a pass over the entire AST with one external DeclEvent
handler, and I wanted to temporarily override that handler locally to
process the local declarations of a FunDef. After finishing the FunDef, I
wanted to resume the main analysis with the original handler (`handleFun').
This didn't work out as planned; debugging revealed that after the second
handler (`recordLocalEvents') is invoked the first time, the first handler
never gets invoked again on the rest of the AST.
Running the same analysis on the same C code with just one external handler
invokes all the events I expected.
Is this intended behavior? Is there a simple workaround so that I can use
two handlers? I've come up with a way to do what I want using only one
handler, but it's not a simple as I'd like.
