I get a LIL- and nothing after that. >>From what I've seen, the 2.4.11 had some serious problems and 2.4.12 was an attempt to address those. I think 2.4.12 still has issues so I dropped back to 2.4.10. You might want to try 2.4.10 if you can. John Vadim wrote: > This is one of the most puzzling issues I've ever seen.
