Hi,

I briefly looked into this, and did not find out why it is behaving that 
way.  It _should_ pick the closer one with this code:

        } else if (name->merge_traversals > merge_traversals ||
                        (name->merge_traversals == merge_traversals &&
                         name->generation > generation)) {

However, it did not even get to that code in my tests.  I'll have to look 
at that problem closer in a quiet moment (which I will not have for at 
least another 24 hours).

Ciao,
Dscho
