Hi Bill,

sorry for the late (and probably disappointing) reply.

Thanks for providing such a file with tests and examples.  

As far as I understand, problems are for cumulative properties, 
right?  

Eric, do you have time to check Bill's tests and see what's 
wrong with cumulative properties and inheritance?  I'm not familiar
enough with this part of the code to *enjoy* fixing this :)

As for the patch themselves...

1) I did not receive confirmation from the FSF copyright clerk that
   your assignment is processed -- let me know if it is;

2) Please shrink commit messages and code lines to < 75 characters
   when possible.  See org.el: we avoid long lines.  This is not only
   for code readability, but also - and importantly here - for patch
   readability...

If I overlooked a bug about something else than cumulative props, 
please let me know and let's have a separate fix for it.

Thanks!
