Customer address or Company address? I know that the Company data is written directly to KVP in Scheme and that I missed it when I went through all of the C KVP code last year to make sure that the containing object of KVP was properly marked and committed. If customer addresses are also getting missed, that's new.

You're using the SQL backend, right? I ask because saving an XML file copies everything in memory to a new file; that's why there were so many instances of writing data without committing it existed. It worked without committing in XML, so laziness was rewarded.
