SteveC is apparently unavailable. What I figured out is that you're
probably referring to the method cuts_seq_at(). I don't know any details
of the code, but you may be better off not using this method, as it has
been dropped in the main development trunk, for a reason I don't know
... Try cut_seq() instead, which seems to have survived unchanged (and
there's no beer bet warning).
