Cool. What happened was a math problem has a non-kids slot for a 
solution, which is a tree of possible paths to an answer, aka a family 
subclass. the top solution node is meant to have no parent. children 
nodes search up the tree to calculate the total cost of their path.

The solution was for a problem embedded in a view and the solution tree 
expansion got kicked off while the problem view was growing, so the 
top-level solution mysteriously picked up the row widget (bound to 
*parent*) as parent because of the default-initarg (itself a diabolical 
trick picking up a special variable value, never saw that one before. 
(And that is the great thing about powerful tools, people always find 
new ways to use them.)

Well, any ideas you can throw over the wall as the traffic sails by will 
be welcome.
