I've checked in my completed code. I -cannot- tickle this bug via my
test suite at all now. (I found that one of my test scripts was slightly
buggy in that it made an incorrect assumption - it was passing when this
bug was tickled - correcting that let me hit this bug nearly every time
:]).

So please, give it a go and see how it fares.
