BlockDataCopier object, which in turn meant that the check ...

@MarcoFalke - Thanks for the heads up. @practicalswift - Have you tested this? I had to alter a few lines before the script worked as expected. (Granted, I hadn't tested the code in question, so thanks!) I can post the patch and you can squash the commit. |

@practicalswift - Actually, since your patch just uncovers underlying issues, it's probably best for this PR to be closed and I file a larger PR that incorporates your fix. Cool? |
