I believe there are two instances of the UFS code created in this case... I don't believe it's a variant compilation of a single shared set of code.

Which, of course, is *supposed* to work... 8-(. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
