Thanks for the bug report! That code hasn't been tested much yet, and
surely needs exercising and examination.

If you spotted a bug, yet don't feel comfortable posting a patch
because you're afraid it won't be in proper SVN style or something,
then we've been doing something wrong here. You should feel
comfortable submitting the patch, and if any corrections are
necessary, the reviewer(s) will, we hope, point them out in as
constructive and friendly a manner as possible.

The best way to learn "the svn way-of-doing" is to get your patches
reviewed, early and often. So please post! :-)
