Yes, and it's the second such bug report on the new version of epic4,
which you assured me was a good replacement for the old epic4. You
gambled and lost.

It is now Tuesday. The test cycle has started. A patch next week is
going to be too late in any case for this cycle. You can aim for the
next cycle, if we have one.
