Folks -
I have encountered the same problem and I think it is important to fix this in 2.7. Unfortunately I'm pretty much out of commission for the rest of the week. It's a project that "A few good Squeakers" could surely solve. If you're in the mood to participate, here's what we need:
1. One or two specific examples of failure that can easily be duplicated in any 2.6 image (I'm assuming the probs are same in 2.6 and 2.7alpha -- if not, that is a clue). [Tim: if you have such, please post it].
2. Someone to track it down and fix it (duh).
I will at least be following mail, and if I see this come through, I'll turn it around as an update asap.
Gentlemen, start your engines...
