Thanks for that David. I'm not in a position to test a patch currently;
my install is from a distribution package, not source, and free time
won't allow that to change in the short term.
Can I ask why the higher priority rule is not being preferred over the
-2 priority rule? I would have thought that the different priority on
the rules would mean a tie break was not needed.
