Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with the prereleases.  There's
*always* serious bugs being found right after release anyway.  I could
cut it down to maybe one or two pres, giving a few folks time to make a
sanity check, then release and get about the same result.

Anyway, I have reproduced the bug, it appears to be caused by shapes
finding text ascent in old-fashioned ways.  I have a fix for it, but
need to make sure I base it off of the right revision from SVN (not too
used to SVN yet).
