I believe I discussed this LOR with Robert Watson some time back and we 
came to the conclusion it is a false positive witness report and is safe 
to ignore. I should document it in the man page and figure out if 
there's some way to tell witness to not report it. Thanks for reminding 
me and for testing. Did everything else behave sanely and work ok?

Cheers,
Lawrence
