Thanks for catching this, Neil.

Andrew, I've reverted the patch.  Could you rewrite it to fix these issues?

Graham, I added a comment to the bugtracker, and tried to change the status,
but I couldn't find a way to do it?  Do I have access to change status?

Neil,

On a more general note, do you have any suggestions for how to check
convert-ly rules?  For code, we have regression tests.  For convert-ly, as
far as I know, we have nothing.  Should we be establishing convert-ly
regression tests?

Thanks,

Carl
