ok, you have convinced me it is a bug :-) +1 to patch a fix. wrt the actual patch that you have provided, I will leave it to others to make the call whether it can go in, in its current avatar. I am +0 on it as I have not taken a close look at it yet and I realize it must get in in short order, if it is gonna make it to Beta 2.
