My apologies.  That's what I thought when I set out to reply to Fernando's
post as well, but I decided to RTSL just to be sure.  The earliest timestamp
on the _expectations dictionary (the thing with all the strings which get
.split()) is

    (gvanross 12-Aug-01)

Later on I do see some

    (tim_one 12-Aug-01)

timestamps as well.  Guess I just misread things.  It's a good thing uncles
aren't easily disturbed by lack of due credit.  My uncles never have been,
at least. <wink>
