[opensource-dev] Very Strange occurrence...

[Ponzu]

....Last night I was using the 2.5 beta I had just built from the weekend's
changes, and this odd thing happened...

I logged in.  My friends list showed ???.  (Odd, the pictures load OK, but
not the names.)  I had been logged in about 15 minutes.

Then I got an IM from Grumpity Productengine.  So far as I know, I don't
know Grumpity.  I assumed it was someone from this list.  The text of the
message was something like, "Hi.  I was between Highland and La Brea on
Franklin, so I thought of you."  This message is significant to me, but I
don't know how any Productengines would know that.

So, I started having a conversation with Grumpity, trying to hide my
embarrassment about not really knowing who it was.

After two or three minutes, I noticed that Grumpity was now ???.  After a
bit of conversation, I finally figured out I was talking to a friend named
Aphrodite Tagore.  After ten minutes more, the ??? changed to Aphrodite
Tagore and all was more or less normal (snafu 8-).

No, I do not have a repro.  No, I was not stoned beyond oblivion.

Just reporting on the off chance that someone will find the information
useful for debugging some display name problem or something.

regards,
ponzu
