I have the exact same problem right now. I have been talking with Larry
Jones about the problem, but have not yet figured out what is going wrong.
I noticed that this behavior did appear to be a result of recursive
behavior, but I forgot to mention that to Larry.
Are you running Red Hat Linux 6.1 for the server? I wonder if this problem
occurs on any systems other than Red Hat Linux?
Anyhow, I am still hoping that someone who has had this problem and fixed it
will be able to shed some light on it.
Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
