Wow. Paul, I'm really sorry this is happening to you... It's worth
opening an Issue Tracker item when we have a reproduction recipe.
Until then, though, the issue doesn't do a whole lot of good. The
issue will just sit there, gathering dust, until someday someone
closes it saying "unable to reproduce".
Maybe if you post the whole history of your repository, with tons of
details, we can figure out a reproduction recipe. (Or if you did
already, just post the archive url.)
