Is there an inverted phrase corresponding to "the gift that keeps on

At least we will continue adding tests until we converge towards
correctness, and the behavior issues are even more contrived and
special case (like this one).

Yeah, I still have context.  I even think I've got an idea about what
the fix might be, though with dir.c my ideas about fixes usually just
serve as starting points for debugging before I find the real fix.
I'll try to dig in.

Thanks! I'll try to review it carefully when it arrives. Good luck.
