That's fine - this is the second issue I was talking about.
The patch I sent before was not really a fix - more a stop gap
designed to see if I understand the issue you are seeing.

I will send out a patch fixing the root cause of both and this should
resolve both issues.
I just want to run it through some internal tests to make sure it did
not break something else first.

Thanks!
