This is a known (to me, at least :) bug. Basically, this PR is a dup for PR # 2188, and could therefore be closed (and 2188 could be changed to `analyzed', though please don't expect me to fix the problem). See my comments in the audit-trail of PR # 2188 for an explanation. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
