Well, if you have a simple test set of data that produces this problem
in 3.1.5, then please do bore us with it. Even though there have been
substantial changes for 3.2, much of those have been backported to 3.1.5,
so if the problem remains in 3.1.x but not in 3.2.x, I'd like to know what
the cause is, so we can address this if/when we start working on 3.1.6.
