I believe you. Issue is that I did a svn update when I got home
today. I have another checkout that I never modify (to use as a
reference checkout) that I have not updated since rev. 43738 and it
passes the tests. That sure helps narrow it down, doesn't it. =) A
quick check of rev. 46750 has the test passing as well.

If we're going to tie<br>up my machine doing it, I want as few builds as theoretically<br>possible. If we're going to tie up your machine, it's fine by me if<br>it goes back one checkin at a time until 1991 :-)<br></blockquote>
