I'm afraid there was a testing failure in this case. All the gfns had been tested probably a day before the March 29 change, and at the time it didn't seem that anything "significant" had changed between then and the April 5 release. But that's a risky assumption, and not one I'll make in future. Obviously, it would be good if I were not the only person testing all the gfns' sample scripts in the run-up to a release.
