Sure. I investigated the issue a while back, and the whole thing is basically stalled. The code surrounding the issue (the packfile code) is a bit of a mess, which made finding a real fix difficult. I started to work on refactoring that code in order to find a fix here, but it's large, hairy, and difficult to work with. This bug should either remain open or be changed to stalled. To recap, I think this bug will require a substantial refactoring and cleanup of the packfile code. For now, I believe it's a non-trivial bug (except, perhaps, for someone with a more thorough understanding of the packfile code). My involvement with Parrot has been minimal as of late, but I'm willing to retain ownership of the ticket and fix the issue if packfile code gets cleaned up. -- Matt Diephouse
