I have some dusty neurons in my head that recognize this from previous postings. There is so much dust that I can't be sure I'm remembering ancient history correctly. Don't shoot me if I'm off-base. Something is happening to prevent your getting back to a level 0. Maybe the size is now greater than a single tape or some such. That is its own issue. For most of amanda's life, it never gets anywhere near level 9. So the code related to it is almost never exercised/tested. The conclusion was that yes there is a bug that doesn't check if the level is out of range high. I doubt that anyone ever went back to 2.4.2 to fix the problem as it happened so seldom, and only under situations caused by other problems. Fix the reason why it is not able to do a lower level dump, and while the bug will not be fixed in the code, you won't hit it anymore. Cough, Hack, Gasp. I gotta vacuum in the dust outta this brain. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
