If memory serves, I tried this on the cvs of May 18, and had the
problem on that one also.

I might comment that the logic in that part of the code is very
complicated -- perhaps it should be broken out a bit at the cost of
some cpu cycles, but less human cycles.

You are rigth, the problem has not been introduced with the recent 
changes (those after May 18). The bug should be fixed when the patch I 
posted earlier today is installed.
