    I hate subtle bugs. There is a recurring one in Jelly-Bean which causes
a runtime error when it recompiles the config files, but only *sometimes*.

    The other day I was cursed with it again after making a minor change to
a config file, and then also when changing back, it happened again.

    Next time I was ready, armed with my trusty debugger and variable
watchpoints. Made that minor change again, and...... it worked perfectly.
No runtime error.

    Grrrr.
