Oh, hey, no problem. Sometimes it's not a matter of getting the right fix from someone, but rather, a sympathetic and intelligent correspondent. I work alone and that's, uh, lonely. And I can't blame you for wanting to double-check my assumptions. I would do the same.
I'll try to get you more useful info on that failure mode, but unfortunately, this development environment is still rather opaque to me, so I'll be stumbling along... so standby.
