Stephen,
Sorry I removed the question as you were answering, as we
determined our problem was exactly what you described, our own cause,
rather than anything to do with clojure.contrib. Still, thanks for the
prompt reply, much appreciated, as is your library, which is being put
to good use within my company.
Thanks again,
Brian
