I'm afraid I'm not being much help, but I'm gonna fling some more
questions, since there's nothing to lose. In the debugger, what's the
output when you type:
X ~deltas|local

Are the values for each key exactly the same, or is there something
funky going on there too? Have you tried the <=> operator for a
comparison? Are one of those variables a tied variable? You have
warnings turned on, right? Hope something above helps, but that's all
I can think of. :-/ Someone else on the list might know more, or if
you want to wait 'til the meeting Monday, a few minds (that are better
than mine) can look at it.

David
