[Paddlewise] Frozen Hand Pumps?

Hello

I was pondering winter paddling issues.  At below
freezing temperatures, it seems to me that a hand pump
could possibly freeze solid.  This would make it
inoperable should an emergency pump-out be required. 
Has anyone had this happen?  Is this a legitimate
concern?  How do you resolve the problem?
