Although Mr. Lawson's message itself did not make it to this
end of the world, I would like to state that Case 6 is correct
to all the extent of my knowledge. (It is apparently counter-intuitive
since this is not the first time it has been reported to me as being
incorrect.)
When checking, however, I realized to my horror that our
current implementation does not agree with the table for Case 6.
This will be corrected shortly. Our apologies for this bug.
