i'm not sure i see this. it might be that some small stuff changed. it 
would very cool if you could get CVS set up and work from CVS HEAD. (if 
you need some instructors then i can supply some urls).

this looks very, very much like a coding mistake. i think that maybe the 
field at the top is a relic from a past incarnations. i've removed it in 
CVS HEAD.

(again, i'm a little unclear about the line numbers). are you talking 
about the getElementDescriptor method?

(my first impressions) is that this looks fine. (but cvs diff -u against 
CVS HEAD would have been even better.)

could you supply some test cases? (we're big on test cases and usually 
they take me as long to write as the original code.) if you need some 
examples, look in the src/test directory structure.
