We're discussing this on a bug filed against the Ubuntu Gnumeric
package, on the Ubuntu bug tracker, not the Gnumeric upstream bug
tracker, so my apologies if people accidentally found themselves here
without knowing much about Ubuntu ;-)

Karmic is the name of the current Ubuntu development release; it's where
I'd expect the upstream package to appear eventually.

Unfortunately that may be bit slow if there's no Ubuntu packager
tracking this bug report.  I thought that was you because of your fast
response; sorry for my mistake.

There's a separate bug tracker for Gnome and Gnumeric upstream, and I
understand you relayed this bug to there (thank you).

I understand that hlookup() and vlookup() were incorrectly sharing the
same cache.  Just to check, can you confirm that lookups in different
sheets in the same workbook use separate caches too?

Since you're there, please pass on that the match() function should be
cached in the same way as hlookup() and vlookup().  In fact you can
write hlookup() and vlookup() in terms of match(), which is what I did
to workaround this bug.

(I also found it's the only way to make a sheet that also works in
OpenOffice.org, which doesn't support the as_index option.  That's what
match() is for (in conjunction with offset()); as_index was never really
needed).

Thanks for your help getting the bug fixed.  I look forward to testing
it when it percolates downstream.

hlookup and vlookup return invalid results, and F9 (force recalculate) can 
break or fix the result, so can "editing" formula with no changes
