Before anyone gets too upset about the robustness of 3.6, they should
realize that this bug also exists in 3.4b and 3.4a. However, anyone still
using 3.2 will have nothing to worry about :-). The fact that it has been
a bug for over a year may attest to the fact that it is not exactly a
common expression.

At any rate, thanks for the bug report. The problem has been fixed and
added to our test suite. Keep those cards and letters coming...
