Agreed. I think someone just needs to sit down and try and figure out why this is. I am not convinced (without evidence) that it's annobin or mini debuginfo (but of course I could be wrong). I can add this to my list, but not sure when I would get to it. Hopefully we will figure out the why, then we can look at how to fix it. kevin
