If this fixes it, it is indeed amazing how subtile some parts of the system are. I am really hoping that someone really does "get their arms" around the VM/VFS_BIO code -- and I am willing to help them as needed. The VM code is something that is tricky, even if you understand it. Also, IMO, the more people willing to become a/the VM czar, the better!!! -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
