I pointed out a couple issues, but you never responded.  See below.

Here's one thing.  Above I was asking for more details.  In
particular, how would a user notice this bug?  How did *you* notice
the bug?

I was hoping you would respond with "yes, I understand the problem,
but don't think it's likely" or "no, this isn't actually a problem
because ..."

I think it *is* a problem, but we're probably unlikely to hit it, so
we can probably live with it for now.
