Thank you for the help - unfortunately (as usual) the person having the problem is unable to describe what they are doing in any meaningful manner, and they're a couple of hundred miles away - so there's a lot of guesswork going on at my end. As I say, I've been able to replicate the problem a grand total of once --- and on that occasion the emulator/eclipse was running at about 1% of normal speed.
I'll hook into the class you mention and see what I can find - will post results. My current assumption is that I've cocked up something in the manifest that is affecting (literally 1 in 1000 people). Thanks again.
