I get the same problem but have always ignored it as it hasn't been an issue. I still get the same problem in 4.3-STABLE . I tried a few things to fix this but in thew end I gave up with the idea of if it ain't broke don't fix it, I spend enough time fixing broken things to worry to much about this ;) Cheers, Mark On Tue, 24 Apr 2001 10:10:05 +1000, Doug Young said: > Glad to see someone else has experienced the same > phenomena :) Whats even stranger is that its apparently > intermittent !!!!
