Yup, I filed a Radar on this in 2007 and it was duped to <rdar:// 4444886> which itself dates from around Feb 2006. Doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. What's very disturbing is that there were several security-related fixes, as you say. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
