This time, I managed to get a copy of ktrace.out moments before it self-corrupted, and that tipped me off. And the moral of the story is that computers are vindictive... :-) Right when you least expect it, expect it! :-] Anyway, I take back the gripes that I've sent to people over the last 6 months on this topic. > Jordan Cheers, -Peter
