That patch didn't merely prevent the spincontrols from enforcing
"Solve...Time" limits--it removed those limits from the program
altogether. As a result:

  alt-F N I
  solve for...anything
  from year 100
  to year 100
  at year 100

Assertion 'SolveEndYear_ <= BasicValues::GetLength()' failed.
[file /lmi/src/lmi/ihs_avsolve.cpp, line 319]

Hence the 20090316T0303Z change.
