Not to clog this list with criticisms or praise re Allaire but once I
recieved a response, Allaire was quick to contact QA and get the dirt on
this bug. It's nice to know that SP1 will address the issue.
Anyway, now that we know what caused the issue, we are currently rewriting
our code to work around the bug. Thanks for everyone's comments!
