This is a real problem.  I haven't seen it recently in -current.  If
you are seeing it in today's current, then you are *definitely*
doing us all a service by reporting it.  If it isn't today's current,
then you are repeating a known problem, and still doing us all a
service by reporting it :-)....

Thanks!!!
