> I made a fix. However, I believ this was fixed in 2.1R. I don't believe it was, because when I first mentioned it, it was because I had upgraded one of my key machines from 2.0R to 2.1R...

This is fixed in 2.1. > The following patch should fix it on 2.05: The patch does work but I swear you need it for 2.1R as well ;-) ... JG
