Fix that bug ?

This bug appeared somewhere between ORBit 0.5.6 and 0.5.7, to be more exact
between Jan 9 2001 and today. So someone should look at all changes in the
last two months to find out what went from.

Unfortunately, ORBit is a module under Sopwith policy - there are people
who decide not to try to look at the problem when reading ``Do not touch this
file. Run 'rcs2log' or use bonsai'' in a ChangeLog.
