yaml sent off list. This is the only machine I've tried on right now, and I
can't use the other one that is similarly configured because it's being
used for other stuff at the moment. I did pretty extensive experimentation
with 2.0.6 a while back on hardware and didn't see this issue. I'll try
installing 2.1 and playing with it later today to see if I can reproduce
that way.
