Yikes! Thanks Dar, I didn't know this. It's a nasty one, since I can't see
any workaround.
Interestingly the behaviour has changed a bit between 2.6.1 and 2.7.2, but not
fixing this bug. I've added a report to BZ 1147 confirming that this is still
a bug in 2.7.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 - but I can't re-open the bug, only Klaus or
someone at RunRev can.
Klaus - could you re-open this bug please?
