Possibly involved here, I'm seeing

an ACL having a "require" verb, which has only
one condition, an "acl = <name of sub-acl>".
The sub-acl is supposedly returning "defer". From the
docs on ACL conditions, ' the current ACL returns “defer” '.
I'd assumed that said return would happen without
evaluating any later verbs in the initial ACL.
However, when I insert a "warn logwrite=" immediately
after the "require", it writes.

Is this correct, or am I just confused?
