Hello,
I haven't had any time to try this again with the suggestions you have
made. Work has been a little taxing on my time. I do have the steps to
re-produce the problem, which I have made in a build-script for Ubuntu
12.04. It seems to do the trick to get the same results both times I've
tried (each starting off on a fresh install of 12.04 - I've been trying
this on clean installs on a VM):
Thanks,
John
