Hey, thats why it is in the BETA section.
I have just repeated my tests and I do not get the same result.
Could you please remove the 'df' files that are currently in the
spool queue and rerun this? I think they are left over from
an old job. You should periodically run 'checkpc -r -A 7d' for this
reason.
