Ahh, I guess the multiple copies might indeed be the cause. I have had other
issues related to that as well. (Overridden/redefined functions obviously
still being accessed and so forth.) It's not easy to document the behavior,
though, and really not that important if it doesn't occur in other
circumstances.
So I'll just move to packaging in a less GUIish way I think.
Fair enough, but if you're able to supply a recipe for the bad
behaviour at some point, please do. I thought we had sorted this out
but I guess the fix didn't cover all possible cases.
