Yes, there's definitely still a problem similar to the one reported -
although I have yet to pare it down to a reproducible case.
I need to look at this more to understand why the fix that was done doesn't
seem to work.  Once I understand that, I'll be close to creating a patch.
The issue is that I don't know this code very well, so any fix I make might
be wrong for some other reason I don't understand.
