Yes, this has come up a few times.  What's going on?:

	- There was an explanation, and I missed it.
	- The explanation is complicated and Christoph hasn't had time
	  to write it up.
	- Christoph has a strong suspicion there are issues without
	  being sure exactly where they are.
	- Something else?

I mean, the whole enterprise is dead in the water without this, as far
as I can tell, so I'd really like to understand the answer one way or
the other.
