Apologies for the poor description in the email.  You did figure out
what I intended.

I committed the fix, with a slightly revised ChangeLog message to
emphasise the two aspects of the patch:

	* value.c (value_fetch_lazy): Ensure parent value is not lazy
	before checking which bits of the parent, not the child, value are
	valid.
