Sold. I'll apply the patch on my next round. If we're wrong, we'll just have to pay the price of a messy rollback. In my opinion, we're doing this not so much because of the cruft, but because we want to cut down on needless sources of variability (n parameters, 2^n configurations, each unique configuration a liability). Now instead of worrying about being too stubborn, I can worry about being too flip-floppy. Thanks for the comments! -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
