O, and also, to state the obvious. If you're not running the latest
version of Mlmmj, upgrading is not a dumb idea. Bugs do get fixed in
every release (and between releases for that matter, but I can't expect
you to be running development versions!). I can't remember anything
recently that exactly addresses your problems, but maybe there was
something. We are due for a new release soon, as a few bugs have been
fixed since the last one. I will probably step into gear and get that
done in the next 2 months or so.

Ben.
