Yikes - if what you say is true (and I don't doubt it) it is a bug and a nasty one. Anyone care to confirm? I will wait until there is some conversation on the matter (or a few days) before I add it to the bug list. In the interest in sharing the load - is there someone else that would care to confirm this bug? Andrew - I assume you are quite sure you have assessed the situation and that we are not getting crossed wires here? I do not like adding things to the bug database unless they are clearly bugs.
