Nobody's laughing, and it does succeed for some packages; the batch I just signed was 152 packages. It's your choice whether you shut kamp down, but I don't see what it achieves other than perhaps a small amount of power/heat savings. Like I said in private, I'm busy writing my master's dissertation right now, but once I finish I will turn to fixing these issues. James
