To subscribers of the xforms list from Ivan Powis <pczip@chemistry.nottingham.ac.uk> :

I've just tried out 87.3 (hp)

There is a problem with radio buttons on menus. It is possible to get
two buttons selected at once! This can be seen with the distributed
menu demo - just click away changing the colour until at some random
point more than one button shows selected. There doesn't seem to be
anything deterministic about this - it just happens more often
with a real application than with the demo, but that is probably
just Sod's law in operation.

(I remember seeing this reported by someone else for version 85 or 86,
but it seems to still be with us)
