Ya know, all of this has been real interesting to read - but since none of it (that I could see) was CCed to the gnats PR submitter e-mail address, none of it will be considered by anyone who might have this future problem and be searching the PR database for a fix, much less anyone who might be looking through the PR database history for preparing their own PR on a similar issue. Not to mention anyone on the actual bugs team. (even if a PR is closed you can still add comments to it, ding dong) You might say it was a big exercise in linguistic and technical masterbation. I hope it was as good for you as it was for us! Ted
