I'm sure that's right. However, it requires familiarity with the code that I don't have to find that sort of thing, so I've been trying (and failing) to save time by using tools instead. > If that is the problem, good luck finding > that.

Hopefully we'll find the bug twice as fast now. ;) John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
