in reply to An interesting quirk of the new order?

There is _still_ a race condition in the code that updates the other users list. I thought i had pretty well eliminated it, but apparently it still shows up once in a blue moon. When this race condition occurs its possible to get a corrupted OU list, which is most likely the cause of this.
