Hmm. There is still no sign of an attachment here. For whatever
reason, GMail must have decided to silently drop it. Weird.

As for the issue, file a bug report and attach a few examples. There
are currently a handful of bugs filed against the solver for various
game types. It would also be appreciated if you could test against a
previous version of KPat to ensure that this problem isn't a
regression.

I'm hoping Coolo will get a chance to take a crack at these before
KDE4.3 rolls out the door. I've tried a couple times to grok the
solver code, but thus far I've been unsuccessful.
