Judging from the commit message, it looks like some uninitialized variables related to UVW coordinates. > I assume this means a fresh release, soonest? The fix is in CVS. It has been applied to the 2.1 branch, the 2.2 branch, and the latest development version. (This bug has been around but hiding for a LONG time - at least since EMC 2.1.0, in January of 2007.) When the next binary packages (version 2.2.8) are released, they will contain the fix. No date has been set for the 2.2.8 release. Two reasons the bug wasn't fixed before: 1) It is extremely rare - just the right (wrong?) conditions are needed to trigger it. 2) We never got good detailed information about the bug before, and were never able to reproduce it. Kudos to Stuart for the detailed reporting!
