Another LC9.6.9rc2 regression? This time with Datagrids

[Mike Kerner]

there's another option, which is to investigate the polygrid. i've been
messing with it, because it does seem to be faster than a dg.
but first, i don't think i can resist trying to see why this is breaking.
if i do (and, instead work on this app i'm working on), it will demonstrate
the sort of self-control that i'm legendarily lacking. OOH! SHINY!

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
