Is the @dynamic@ also a problem format. It should NOT be white listed. 
The way that dynamic was written, ANY hash that uses hex for the hash 
string will automatically get that bit set within the call to init()   
The bug comes (as I have been made aware), of usage of the 'minimal' 
format structure prior to the time that init() is called.

Thus, if you are seeing any dynamic hashes that trip this issue, then 
they are buggy and need fixed.  When you find these, please make sure to 
cc me personally about the problems, thank you.

Jim.
