If the prim was made flexible at one point, changed to a torus or tube, then changed back the flexibility becomes latent. [[PRIM_FLEXIBLE]] is still TRUE, but SL won't treat it as such.

			Obviously there are two variables storing this param server-side. Both have to be TRUE for the prim to be flexible. The client editor and LsL will toggle them both, but changing the prim to a tube/torus only toggles one.

			It's almost as if flexibility is a recessive trait :D

			Sometimes llGetPrimitiveParams() will find that a prim is flexible, even if it isn't in the client editor. When you clone, suddenly your object is all floppy.
