I may be that clever, but I ain't that devious.  I'll try the suggested
fix.  Very likely you're right, though the location of the core dump
is peculiar if this is the case.  It's inside bound_from_constraint(),
whereas in your scenario I'd expect it to be in the Requirement method code.

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme
Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the
fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
