Thanks for spotting that.  When I fix those lines, I see:

[[ 3.9000001   3.0999999   2.0999999   1.10000002  1.89999998  2.9000001 ]
 [ 3.9000001   3.0999999   2.0999999   1.10000002  1.89999998  2.9000001 ]]

I'll submit to SVN later today.  Note that I also enabled 'mirror'
mode, which works almost the same way as reflect:

Reflect: 1 2 3 4 -> 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
Mirror:  1 2 3 4 -> 1 2 3 4 3 2 1
