Yes, I'm aware of what the domain line does :) I've been using it forever
though and never had this problem before. I will remove it though and see
what happens. I never thought that it might not handle comments like that
though, it never complained to me though and seems to behave right.
Unfortunately, the manual doesn't say what it takes for comments. Thanks
for the point of view though.
