Yes. This bug was pointed out a about a week ago. And I put out a tweak  
back then that will fix it before this nweek's proposals happen.

You shouldn't object to my Tweak, either, because through means that I  
don't care to explain until after the end of the nweek I've already  
ensured that if my Tweak fails I'll get over a hundred million  
Genechips out of it.
