OK, I can't speak to that issue specifically. Generally, though, the worst that can happen is "you fix one problem affecting a subset of users and replace it with a larger problem affecting a larger subset of users". If there's doubt about the impact of a change, 10 seconds before the release is not the appropriate time to cram it in. Kris
