I ran into this problem too, although from a different direction. Basically, you have to remove every call to s_to_lower() that deals with an id. I made the fixes here and I'll be sending them to Geoff soon. If anyone needs them right away, e-mail me and I'll send them to you. I'll be in Washington, D.C. for USENIX Jan. 22-26 so the earliest I could send them out is Jan. 29. -- Leonard J.
