If so, would somebody be kind enough to post a link to it, so that I can post a follow-up on that? http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=34326 As you can see, I found a rather unusual solution for the problem: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=214880 It is, of course, unfortunate, that Windows seems to cope with this issue/problem so much better than FreeBSD. Whatever Windows is doing in order to get past the problem, it would certainly be Nice (and a lot more user-friendly) if FreeBSD followed suit and did likewise. Regards, rfg
