Thank you for the *quick* work to confirm.  Indeed, I have no doubt that
Jürgen will know just what to do.  Please let me know if I can do anything
to assist (file an issue, etc.).

Thank you for the tip regarding the branch with a space in its name.
Strangely, I don't see any issues on this side (at least from a standard
user's edit-and-render perspective).  Regardless, I'll modify it to be a
non-issue.

Thanks again,
Joel
