Hi Richard

I think this may actually be a limitation with clone (it doesn't deep-clone 
everything the object references). I'm not sure... because with that change, TS 
is just using Ruby's implementation of clone, it's not doing anything special.
http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/classes/Object.html#M000621

Is there some other way to structure your code to get the same outcome? Is 
there some overhead you're trying to avoid by using the same search as a base 
for other searches?
