[Dirk Hohndel]

Just for the record, your patch does make it better for me as well.

My votes for the 4.6.3.151 (from the play store):
- can't reproduce the enumerate issue with both Dirks and Ricks procedure
- can't reproduce the "different dive when rotating".

It is getting more and more strange ... somehow I'm happy that I can't 
reproduce (so I did sufficient testing before sending the "fix"), but on 
the other side very unhappy on the seemingly non deterministic nature of 
the issues at hand.

best,
