Sure thing I understand. I'll try to have the tests for you tomorrow. I ran
into them when making an extension to that plugin and so I'll have to come
up with a nice clean way to exploit this error and then show that the patch
fixes it. To do that I'll probably have to spend a little time studying how
the current tests work and seeing if I can't repurpose and/or enhance some
current tests and while probably not difficult will take a little time (more
then the 5 minutes it took to whip up the fix anyway ;))
