I suppose my setup is somewhat non-typical. It's not the first time I
stumble upon a bug that's been there for years, latent, waiting for an
unsuspecting victim.

At least it's been fast, not like the "missing LF in ChangeLogs" bug
(#870) that I triggered dozens of times, Jason about two or three, and
apparently no one else. It took me eight months to be able to
reproduce it at will...

Yes, it's been a while since the last defaults-changing flamewar. :)
