Sudden onset of "anonymous users" in Twirl only
Just now, out of the blue, Twhirl started displaying tweets as if they were coming from anonymous users. Neither Twitteriffic nor the Twitter web view share this issue.

When I try to direct messsage or @ reply one of these users, the message box shows "@ " or "d ". When I view any of their tweets through the browser, I get the following: http://skitch.com/jayallen/ehn9/viewi... . Notice the double slash in the URL. If I click on "Mysteriously Unnamed", it goes back to my Twitter home page.
I can't think of anything I've done or was doing at the time to cause this. I installed Twirl about two weeks ago, have not updated it or any part of my system for more than a week and have never seen this problem before now.
I also corroborated the issue with another Twhirl user who says that they started seeing the problem right around the exact same time (I twittered it and they are a follower).

Inappropriate?Opened Twhirl again just for the alerting & it alerted me to a new version. 0.7.4 seems to have fixed the identity problem. Nice work, guys!
I’m happy with the fast response!

Inappropriate?Odd, I don't see 0.7.4 on twhirl.org, but I DO see 0.7.5 which, it says, was released on April 1st. How weird. No update notification, no post here on gsat.
Oh well, 0.7.5 does indeed seem to be the fix. Thanks!
