Ivan Kokshaysky provided the fix, which I hope has been captured for inclusion in -rc3. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------
