I apologise. No offense was intended or even thought of. This is a 100% repeatable problem on my system. If it doesn't happen to you on your system, then it begins to look like an OpenBSD-related problem. >> The very first thing we probably tried as a > result of your messages is try to print to pdf using the same name (and > differnet names).

Please don't take anything I write as an attack, either of you or gnumeric. I don't do that - ever. I do get worked up when I get frustrated. I have been trying to tone it down because even my cats leave when I get upset.
