Happy to oblige. :-)

Hi David,

after spending the afternoon trying to write a general program that would show
you the symptoms I was seeing, I have somehow cured the original problem. Go
figure.

I was hoping that someone would reply saying either they had similar trouble
(thus saving me the trouble of looking any deeper), or that I was crazy (thus
forcing me to dig into my own code).

Thanks

Brad

Do you have an example of this? This strains the imagination. :-)
