It shouldn't.... in fact, the code is supposed to make sure it *doesn't* 
turn it into a valid component unless the reconstruct finishes.  I'm 
betting there is a bug in there somewhere though, where if the reconstruct 
fails abnormally that it *may* mark it as a good component.  I need to 
investigate that further.
