I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with this, but I'd like to take
this opportunity to make a plea that when you (pl.) run into problems
like this that you report them when they happen. I know that after
taking time to track down problems the last thing you want to do is take
MORE time to report them, but the 5 minutes you spend reporting it today
can save hours for other users down the road.
