That was due to 12977:af39d20b2b728941421ef18e5c5b1012852eec80[0] which I have now reverted. The reversion will be 13080:4ef0dbe95eac33033abeee36a8f13eaaeb9d5639 once it comes through regression testing. Hollis, what was the warning the change was introduced to avoid? If you have any ideas for another workaround for them in the 3.0.4 release we'd be grateful to hear it ASAP -- Keir plans to roll the final RC in the next 24 hours. Cheers, Ian.
