Thanks for putting me in the loop.

No precise idea yet, but the proposed fix definitely looks like the
wrong one. Actually, not passing a node identifier to any domain
constructor is pretty much always a mistake when using DT.

Can someone post a stack trace for this issue so that I can have a
look? I'm currently traveling, so expect a slightly delayed reply...

Thanks,
