I reported also something extremely strange. Of course, the comments I have gotten have been the same as here. But what happened then? I do not know why but somebody found a race condition in the affected system. There is no fix available yet. With other words, no matter how strange things are, I encourage people to report it. Not with the real hope to get a solution at the spot. But with the chance that somebody who knows the code well and has some strange feelings takes a look. I also encourage my clients to do the same for our products and services. Erich
