Yeah, I've got that already. It does not look blindingly helpful,
though, so I was going to dig deeper. However, I am not going to have
time to do this in the near future, so I have dropped bug #110154 in
your pile. I'll keep my b0rked setup around in case you want me to run
any tests to narrow this down. I'm sorry not to be able to get a bit
closer to the cause of the problem.
