I'd like to add something to this, if I may.  During the 9.1 development
cycle, I took the time to download the cooker edition of 9.1 and was
testing it in a work environment.  I found the problem you gentlemen are
discussing above and then went to http://qa.mandrakesoft.com where I
posted a bugreport to Bugzilla concerning it.  It was not addressed, and
went unfixed.

offlist.
