Comment:

 There are quite a few things broken currently when testing on my system
 and I never know if or how they're related. But here's a Traceback from
 Calculate that smells like this bug isn't fixed yet:

 This is with the version support branch. If you can't reproduce it, I'll
 try mainline. Don't expect it to make any difference, though (otherwise I
 would have already tried).
