What version of Domain/OS please?  This looks _VERY_ similar to the results
we got (and posted, I believe) at 10.0 / 10.1.  If this is also at 10.2 or
10.3, I'd be very interested.  If this is 10.1, I'd suggest you upgrade
immediately if not sooner.  

Regardless, I'd suggest that you _please_ give O/S revisions when posting
messages of this sort.
