I don't know. You should have got the same message again. You also haven't described anything that is obviously a problem. But you haven't really given me enough information to tell. Take a look at vinum(4) or http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html and give me the information I ask for there. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
