Thanks again for your reply Lisandro.

Would you please be specific about how to apply the patch (I have never done
anything like this before!)?
You may have to wait a little while for any testing on my end because I finish
my project today (I am only doing this as a summer project for someone) and so
will be starting back at university soon... I will however pass this
information on to my successor and I may be able to do some work on it if I
have some spare time! I will try and put this info in the wiki though, probably
sometime next week.
Cheers,
Sam
