Martin:

Thanks for the info.. I will take the patch and give this
a try with all the current code (I have some patches that
need to be committed.. but none relate to this problem)..

I know earlier (about 4 months ago) we had this problem and
I thought we had fixed it.. I will dig around and see
what is wrong ... will let you know in a bit.

R
