Thank you!
Was the commenting-out of the 'study' line intentional? Because
the bug only shows up WITH study. It wouldn't hurt to have the
non-study version also, but it might already be covered by other
tests.

Current Debian stable/testing/unstable all have the bug, which is
how I encountered it. It's also in other OS distributions (and
apparently has been there for 7 years! :) Anyways I will file a
Debian bug to encourage the Debian developers to update/backport
the fix.
