If that proves to be the correct solution, I highly recommend telling flameyes all about it. He'll rant and rave on his blog at length, completely describing all the details and problems that you really don't want to know about. And shortly thereafter he'll have a most elegant solution to the entire root problem that just fixes it and never comes up again. He's good that way :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
