Oh. Well I don't know where to start looking for that one.

Maybe someone fixed it amongst all the things which have been happening
recently. I'll upload an mm snapshot as soon as I can get some of it to

If it still fails and if this is reasonably reproducible I'm afraid I'd ask
if you have time to run a bisection search on it.
