Hi Andrew,
I see that you have joined Javier in waiting for this one :-)
Strictly speaking this is not a regression since it is built into the defined
assignment of components from the very beginning. However, its being marked as
a regression helps me keep it in mind.
I can see two ways of fixing this, both of which involve a major amount of
work. My attack on PDTs is long overdue and so I must do that first. Please be
patient.
Regards
Paul
