Hi Koen,
We fixed a major cause of this kind of error a few months back
so I'd like to be absolutely clear about which version this occurs in
so that I can figure out whether it's still happening.
Can you tell me the latest version in which you have observed this bug
please? (I need the minor version "number" which is either a
month-year pair or a 6 digit date of the form YYMMDD.)
Alastair
ps If you haven't grabbed it already, please grab the January-1998 release.
