Looks like a SaX/SuSE specific problem. I suggest one of their forums/mailing lists would be a good place to seek help. Either that or cancel the sax process and do it by hand 9although that may muck up sax in future. Looks like sax has a problem parsing a modeline with an underscore in the name. -- Nick Rout
