You're right. I've always accepted the default tag, and after I posted this, I did `openpkg rpm --showrc | grep suse9'' on the original system, and it was all OS related. I'm not sure what caused this problem, and it hasn't happened again. The hardware that I was using was giving wierd behaviour on several things so has been replaced.
