But there is, nonetheless, a very valid lesson to be learned here and that's that it really isn't a good idea to bombard the developers with messages and PRs (I think we have about 10 open ones from Marc which are related to this problem) until you've really checked everything else, first. The alternative is that you burn up all your bug reporting "credit" on something stupid and have people then whap `delete' on all your future stuff because they don't want to be sent on any more wild goose chases. Sort of a twist on the boy who cried wolf.. :) Jordan
