David,

I will try to take a look at this on Saturday. Please, please, please
keep pinging me on this. I have three major deadlines in the next 10
days, but diagnosing should only take a little while. Shooting from
the hip (and not looking at the code this instant), I would guess the
message only works with one point, or that the code has a problem
telling the API about the message.
