Indeed!  Thank you for the report; I will gogo and hunt this bug ...

That's strange because this bug was fixed *before* gpc-2.0 was released;
it was present in gpc-1.2 or before.  I cannot reproduce it with my
current development version, so this bug should disappear when you take
a current alpha version of GPC.  Look at

Hope this helps,
