I've seen similar reports of this on 7.x; Richard Clayton has a box that has done this since at least 7.1, and it's one of the reasons I added the debugging output above :-). Unfortunately, it's not in an easy position to debug on that box. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of CambridgeReceived on Wed Jul 01 2009 - 06:48:41 UTC
