Thanks Thomas! I've actually put some efforts myself to create custom build with the changes I need, but the one you pointed out seems to cover my fixes as well and does even more. I'm looking forward to the patch from you, 'cause it seems to fix some extra things over Cody's code. Again, thanks!

Just curious, did you have a chance to do this? :-) Thanks, -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Thomas S.
