That's why, when posting a minimal illustration of the problem, one 
needs to test that minimal case to make sure the problem still exists! 
Often the process of creating or cutting down something to a minimal 
case enlightens the questioner to the point of discovering the actual 
problem. I like to call this "doing your homework".
