(Get the code!)
I am sorry if this sounds too harsh but the fact that this bug is open for almost two years now is a disgrace (even though a patch was kindly contributed by barry in September of *last* year).
I lost many hours due to this bug and suffered frustration on a level that causes physical pain because two of my tests would fail in most mysterious and obscure ways.
Last night (in a post-midnight, "last day of week 3" hacking session) I consulted Barry since the code I was working on happened to be related to sending emails and he might know something.
To cut the story short: he pointed me to this bug and I applied his patch. The effects were immediate and "miraculous": one of the tests in question worked immediately, in case of the other I got a *meaningful* error message and was able to resolve the error in a couple of minutes.
I have had only a few interactions with Barry so far but have to say that he's as good as gold.
Barry, I am already starting to admire you :) and should you happen to read these lines: please do come to London. I would love to meet you in person :)
