I've never seen this. Do you have a source?

(Ideally this should be done with loaderinfo, but I can't see ready/not ready results with that tool) > Best regards, > Kern > > On 02/18/2016 11:08 PM, Alan Brown wrote: >> On 18/02/16 07:48, Kern Sibbald wrote: >>> I can imagine several possible problems: >> >> So can I.
