This is a bit of a bummer. I can't reproduce the error anymore. I
have absolutely no idea what changed. I moved the old version out of
the way and cleaned the registry, but the bug still won't appear. I
guess just hope the next person to run into this bug will have an
easier time figuring out the problem.
In the mean time here's hoping the bug stays away for good,
