   Looks like some patch file went haywire at some point and
deleted a line of source in plow/PlowYank.c.  The second line
from the bottom should be:

    DBPaintPlane(ui->pu_def->cd_planes[DBPlane(type)],
                &rtrans, DBWriteResultTbl[type], ui);

Since this routine paints layout back into the original cell,
clearly you will not get correct plowing behavior without it!

I don't think that this problem should exist in version 7.1, as it
appears to come from a recent revision of 7.2;  possibly you were
running the 7.2 executable when you thought you were running the
7.1 version.  Anyway, thanks for the heads-up, and I will correct
the distribution right away.
