Assuming I can verify this, I'd call it a bug in XOM. Laurent's 
suggested fix is likely correct. It should be easy enough to make.

There've been several easy fixes posted here in the last couple of 
days. I'm off to Germany next week for OOP 2003, but once I get back 
I'll roll these out for a 1.0d9 toward the end of the month.

Then next month, I'll post my Todo list, and try to make some final 
decisions on the not so obvious issues, before we do an API freeze.
