Hi Christian, Please reply to both me and the list (or just the list, since I'll see it that way as well) so that others can help you when I am busy (as for the last few days) A non-working example would be a package wherein you've chipped away as much as you can while the problem is still being displayed. Alternatively, if you really want us to be able to look at this, you'll have to point to a server where a copy of your package can be obtained. Alternatively: does the problem occur if you CMD check other packages? If so, it's not a problem with your package but rather one of your environment variables likely got messed up in some creative fashion.
