Dylan (or Dylan),

I would appreciate confirmation if this is the issue.  There seem to have
been alot of problems with paths and tileindexes in 4.2 and later but I am
not aware of these issues being confirmed as bugs and filed as such.  In
particular, I would like to ensure none of these problems exist in 4.4
when we release it.  We might also be able to roll fixes into 4.2.4 or later.

Best regards,
