  It's impossible to say what's going wrong without seeing at least a
minimal sample of your code.  Can you post the shortest snippet possible
that completely duplicates the behavior you believe to be incorrect?  If so,
we can look at it and point out in particular where your expectations don't
coincide with the actual behavior.
