The problem for which the patch was intended involved database issues 
that popped up while indexing some test data provided by Lachlan. Info 
on the specifics is mostly likely lurking in the archives somewhere. 
The original intent was to attempt to reproduce a separate problem, but 
running the test under OS X turned up this new problem. I will be 
testing again with the newest patch sometime later tonight.
