Right, where's my bloody shotgun?

I looked at that bug earlier this morning and thought Nah, how can 
that be related? Throwing shit randomly at walls in the hope some of 
it might stick isn't my usual troubleshooting technique so I left it 
and looked in other more obvious places.

But it cured it, and now I'm still wondering 

How can that be related?

p.s. your tip earlier about --changed-use also sorted out this 
weekend's -hardened clusterfuck with world updates. Thanks :-)

Rule 2: If the low hanging fruit doesn't fix it, start throwing shit :)
