it's in my list. I've just been unable to reproduce it yet. But I'm on
it and will definitely get to it before the next update release. And
side th op had a patch that works in his environment and nobody else
ha reported it I didn't give it max priority.

I couldve done a better job of feedback. I think I posted the info in
a different thread that only linked to the original bug report, so it
wa probably missed because of that.
