Hi Peter,
Not meaning to seem overly pedantic, but could you enumerate the release(s)
you tested when you decided that it was safe to close this?
Also, it seems like it would a good item to put into TODO (when you summarise
the hideous TODO thread) that we should add a regression test to the new
testsuite for this condition.
Cheers,
Gary.
