Re "wash sales:" If an investor repurchases a stock within 30-days of selling the same issue at a loss, then must he treat the loss as a reduction to the price paid for the new shares?

Colin,
Regarding wash sales -- if I sold a long term holding at a loss, repurchased the stock within the 30-day window, and subsequently resold within one year of the repurchase, would this be treated at a short-term or long-term transaction. In other words, could this technique be used to convert a long-term loss to a short-term loss or would the original holding period override? Or is this just an invitation to get my hand-slapped?
