Unfortunately, I can't. I've already spent enough time on
it. What I'm writing about is an observation from a real-life
installation. I know enough about ERP5 to tell you exactly what
happens, when it happens, where it happens, to tell you how to
reproduce the problem, and to formulate a hypothesis why it may happen.
That's basically what a bug report is supposed to contain. What you are
going to do with it is up to you.

See, I'm not lobbying for a feature request; I'm not asking you to do
anything for me or for anybody. I'm warning you there might be a serious
flaw in the core which in some circumstances can bring disaster. If
I'm wrong, that'd be perfect - though I'd be more comfortable if
somebody "from upstream" actually proved me wrong. If you don't care, or
if you are so convinced that everything is perfect that you don't even
need to check, good for you.
