Thanks, applied to the block branch. Not a problem with the series, but I tried to run the test case without the fix, and this is what I got: -{"return": ""} +{"return": "Cannot change the option 'backing.detect-zeroes'rn"} Where does that final "rn" come from? Looks like we have a bug somewhere in the error reporting code? Kevin
