After upgrading to 1.8.0 I've never seen the bug again. I've also seen the problem and this workaround in 1.6.8. Haven't done much with 1.8.0 yet. I *might* be able to reproduce it by digging through CVS and looking for a snapshot of my code that had the problem until I added a specific comment line. I'll do that if someone really needs an example. Steve
