By any chance do you have a reproducible code snippet that shows the
original problem? I realize this may not be easy if it involves Form
and endianness and so forth.
If so I will volunteer to turn it into a unit test. That is a good
way to guard against regression, and also easily identify the problem
when a user is running an older VM that may not have the fix.
