When looking at the changes between the "good" and the "bad" version, the test that presumably would have caught this regression has been removed.

    Thanks, Corion. I'm not sure I follow--that test file still remains a part of the test suite. Nevertheless, an additional regression test was added to catch this failure condition, should it ever happen again. I appreciate your underscoring the importance of testing.

    A mistake can be valuable or costly, depending on how faithfully you pursue correction

      I interpreted the diff in the way that the test file still remains but the regression test was removed and the test count reduced from 26 to 25 tests. Maybe I'm wrong there, as I didn't actually run the test suite.
