I _THINK_ I fixed the issue...  but I dunno...
I GET IT\!\!\!111\!\!\! Duh. because we're passing a subref duh. id10t, that's why you can't use 'shift'/'pop'/ hehe... duh\!
fixes and things... I'm still not sure my test is actually valid, but it's not dumping the results I'd expect...  wtf is 'fix'
