Hi,

Are there some errors with the stalled category this time around? In particular...

It has been two weeks since the last submission and emails about this topic, so maybe you put this one in "stalled" intentionally. (If so, and Stolee if this really is stalled, would you like me to try updating? I know it has expanded quite a bit from the early simple fix you were trying to provide, but you've got most the code I think you need and some important fixes I wouldn't want to see dropped.) But I'm wondering if marking this topic as stalled was intentional, because:

These last two series were submitted in the two days; they don't seem stalled to me.

(The other series in "stalled" besides these three all seemed to belong there to me.)
