I'll wait for confirmation before pushing. I just built 8.7 (I skipped from 8.4 -> 8.8) with my build script and tested it. It works correctly, so I'd say that yes, the problem was introduced in 8.8. This was on sparc, I didn't make the verification on i386, but I will if you'd like. Thanks -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302
