Believe it or not, I'd actually thought I _was_ doing my part when I spent all that time testing and trying to craft a script to make the situation reproducible. I did what was possible in my situation. I really am truly grateful for the "free" software, but if the "cost" is a choice between nuking a production system or not bothering to spend time submitting bug reports containing as much information as is obtainable, which one will the end user choose? I know plenty of folks that would say that's a trick question and that the correct answer is to not use the "free" software. My turn to sharpen the point - wielding the "free" argument as a club is a bit much when end users are willingly doing what they can to help. Carl / K0802647
