Malcolm:
What you have described is accurate - my application did indeed just
pick one, selecting the first (empty) regex, and routing me back to
the page I was already on (in one particular case). No error was
thrown - the behavior was just not as I expected. It was only during
my attempts to use reverse( ) as a debugging mechanism that the error
messages appeared.
What is this "free time" you speak of?
Thanks,
dan
