Hi Charlie,
I'm taking a look at this while Russ works on the other issue you submitted,
and I have a quick question. Was there a version where this test worked for
you? I've been stepping back through releases and am encountering the same
issue you've observed. Assuming that there is a version where it worked, I
should be able to narrow down what changed and why. If this is a new test, or
a test that has never worked, it leads me to believe there is something
specific to this file causing the problem. In either case, I'll have a clear
avenue of investigation to follow :). Thanks!
