Sorry.  I shouldn't have tried to second-guess the snapshot process.

(Ingredients of the snapshot process include an unknown glowing green
substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

Do not taunt the snapshot process...)

The 2005-Jun-17 snapshot contains the fix and, if there is a 2005-Jun-18
snapshot it will also have the fix.
