I would comment that I've been complaining about this since RC1 or 2 
and if you just fixed it in 2 hours that there is something seriously 
wrong with the bug tracking system.  I mean, I reported it a long 
time ago and while it was probably not the best bug report ever, I 
would have been more than willing to do almost anything to help fix 
it. I know what beta tester means, I've beta tested disk defraggers 
and disk caches and lost everything when they had the wrong bug and I 
know it can take a few tries to both fix the bug and for someone to 
help me identify it so they have an idea of where to look. Personally 
I'd just assumed that 1.8 was going to stay broken as no one seemed 
to care and was really happy when trunk worked as that meant I could 
move on. I like the bleeding edge and will always run the current 
beta on my small system unless I find a problem. I know it's 
dangerous, but it gives me the best chance of influencing where the 
product is going. Not much chance with this, but old habits die hard.

And thanks for looking at this.  The offer to help stands. Once UPS 
picks up in the afternoon, 3:30PM PST, I'm happy to try anything for you.
