Dear Juergen,
That fixed the problem. Thanks. However, this scares me a
little bit - random basic functionality failing. Perhaps I
can suggest the following.
Create a test suite that, for now, just tests a bench of
somewhat random stuff that you think are good tests. Then,
every time someone reports a problem, such as this one, you
can add it to the test suite. This way we'd be sure that
there is some coverage going on and that old bugs don't
reappear. Perhaps it can be run with "make test".
Please let me know if you think this is a good idea but you
don't have time for it. Perhaps I, or someone else on the
list, will do it.
Thanks.
Blake
