We just discovered this one ourselves a few weeks ago, and fixed it for
the next release, which is in the final testing stages and should
appear within the week.  It was a deep and satisfying bug.  I have
contacted you offline about testing our pre-release to make sure that
we have fixed it for you as well as for our own test routines.
