Yes, I agree. That is a much different operating environment than the
simpler assert/run/reset scenario, and would explain why I haven't heard of
this problem until now.

Assuming all works out, this a great catch. Thanks again for your patch, and
for your kind words. Good luck on your project.

Cheers, David

In our tests last night, the patch fixed several very strange spurious 
rule activations with no other ill effects, but I hadn't done 
super-extensive testing as it was getting pretty late.

My only explanation as to why we've run into this and nobody else has is 
that we're using Lisa in a way which involves a lot of fact assertions 
and retractions on-the-fly, and never, ever (reset)s.
