I can't think of anything further to do, other than increasing the priority of the problem for the people at [email protected] by letting them know that more than one person is experiencing the problem. If you do so, please tell them to associate your trouble report with Ticket #2013120221005754, the number that was assigned to my trouble report. As always, please let me know if you learn how to solve this, and of course I shall do the same for you. Jay F.
