I figured it was something like this. I probably could've worked it out
had I dug in but I'm more focussed on teaching at the moment. (And I think
it's good for the problem to be known. I thought I read somewhere that
Stef's not reading the lists regularly, though, so perhaps I should e-mail
it directly.)
