Sorry, Hans.  I didn't mean for the comment to apply to you.
It was a general comment, but specifically intended for the person
who reported the original problem.  You were correct in expressing concern
because "works as it did in 1.3" was an unfortunate choice of words,
since Randell didn't know that there was a separate fix in this area for
2.0.  Randell really meant "works as it's supposed to".

I apologize if anyone thought my comment applied to Hans.  I should
have been more precise.
