Thanks for spottting that problem, we *really* appreciate you taking
the time to test the release candidates.

I've just committed the fix for it.

We've spotted some other problems within our own QA process, so we
will be doing at least one more release candidate when those get
fixed.

Once again, many thanks.

Chris
