I am thoroughly confused.  Why would not a text search through the entire
code base reveal ALL references to the flag in question?  In order to be set
or unset it has to have the same name every time it is manipulated.   This
is not really rocket science, is it?

Obviously, it may be a time consuming search given the reason for
manipulating the flag must be investigated in each instance where a
manipulation occurs.  It would seem to me to be a matter of just not having
the resources (otherwise known as man-hours) to do the necessary research
into the logic that causes the flag to be set when it should not be rather
than not being able to find where it is set or unset.
