Dar, I have had time only for a preliminary test but it appeared that 
the apparent depth blew up past a relatively low limit, so, even though 
no error is declared until later, there is a problem perhaps as low as 
20-50 leading to exploding false calls and an error at 700. I am using 
2.1 on OS X.
If this has not been resolved by someone else by tomorrow I will have a 
better look.
