both. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem *at all* (it does turn up every now and then, but never when I want it to), so I would like to expose it to the testing infrastructure to increase the likelihood. I also want to know what precisely went wrong; hence the detailed exception throwing. >> This patch will be removed once the issue itself has been addressed. > > +1 > > Suggest adding a comment to stating this is a temporary property that will be > removed: > > 54 static final boolean OBSERVE_BMH_SPECIES_CREATION; Thank you; I will add this comment before pushing.
