I know your not supposed to post "me too" posts, but I've seen this too 
when editing shipping stuff in the UI.  I thought about going through the 
whole debug rigamarole to find out exactly which sequence of UI events 
caused it, but instead I wrote my own shipping.asc; which, by the way, was 
much too easy.  Mike, you've got a way of putting the cookies on the lower 
shelf, I must admit.

Any debug volunteers?
