Agreed. I've fixed a bug in insertBefore() (which is in CVS and the daily build right now) such that if the node you're trying to insert before is not found, then the new node is added at the end of the list. This should fix any wierdness. Though you should figure out why the node you're trying to insert before could not be found. I suspect the node you're trying to insert before couldn't be found.
