Hi Greg, I also would like to come with a patch to resolve the issue as well. But couldn't figure out so far. I just would like to have a review or a suggestion from an expert in order to move forward. Anyway, I'm still working on it and hope to find a solution. Will appreciate any comment, suggestion on the issue. Thanks, Fatih
