Yes, there was clearly a bug, but I don't see how it matters much.  As
I said, the problem appears to be fixed in the current stable release,
3.4.3, and also in the current development sources.  Given that we are
approaching the second stable release after the 3.2.x release series,
3.2.x is no longer supported, at least by me.
