Hello,=20

Did you run it step by step in the debugger and got the same results I
did? I haven't tried any more debugging ever since, but we can join our
forces and hopefully fix this damn issue so 7.0 won't have it on the
release errata.=20

I bet someone who's a bit more skilled in this matter can handle it in
just a few hours.=20

Any volunteers?

Best regards,
Cristi
