Yup, you nailed it. The files in question are CloudSponge.php (deleted) and Cloudsponge.php (still being actively maintained).

I am seeing the same behavior with 1.7.7.4 which I backrevved to yesterday while troubleshooting this issue. Can you suggest an older version for me to try next?

I'm not sure how I would git bisect in this case, I'd need to have all the different git revs installed in order to do that right? (I'm relatively new to git bisect, just figured it out the other day).

Thanks, -Chris
