Well, it's not just that one line; Once you fix it, the next one
pops up! :>  And unless you exercise enough of l2h, you wont find
them all.  Alternatively, if you knew enough about l2h, and exactly
which hashes are tied, you could probably track down most of these
cases.  And even then, l2h occasionally sneaks things in....
