I agree. Only thing worse is problems with septic tanks

What occurred appears to have been an indexing error (or other parsing error) that left some state machine in a failure state.
It was a solid failure that resisted all attempts to change the code -- until the reboot.  I tried to retrace my steps and create the error, but could not.

I will submit a report to bugzilla FWIW and hope I can stumble across it again.

Thanks for all your help on this.
