i tried the code you provided, it does resolve the issue, however why do we need to change the test? as arash pointed out it seems to work on other platforms well enough. the modified version arash posted back seems to demonstrate the problem, and all it seems he has done get rid of delays and modify a couple for-loop arguments, for which i think should not have been changed from the original in the first place.
