	As far as I'm aware there is no known problem with ORBit1 in that way;
but the trick is to add a test to ORBit1/test/everything so we can
reliably reproduce it, then it'll get fixed :-) should be fairly trivial
for you. Are you using some strange architecture possibly ?

	Odd indeed; we really need a test case for the bug though.
