Giving to brade ... not sure if this is happening because of bug 198036, which 
was fixed already.

This is probably a duplicate of 198036 (and a few other bugs).  Please
retest with a newer build (fix was checked in just after 3/18 builds were
produced).  It works fine on my debug macho build from yesterday.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 198036 ***
