There was some discussion of this and a few patches posted. Not having this problem, I skimmed the material and moved on. Well, this morning I discovered that as of very recently we DO have this problem, and that the discussion has already expired here. Could someone please forward any relevant information and patches? Thanks. -steve -- Steve Groom, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA stevo@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov {ames,usc}!elroy!stevo "... and the babe, she needs a chaaaa--nging..." (apologies to Bob Dylan)
