Sure. However, this code addition was for bugfixes of major other use cases like above, IIRC. The regression should be avoided and should be fixed. But the point is, we (at least, I) haven't been enough informed, unfortunately (or simply burried in a big TODO list :) Now, let's back to the original problem: Could someone give a pointer describing for this problem, or just explain a bit details here? I vaguely remember but not precisely at all now... I'm willing to dig down after knowing how I can reproduce the bug. thanks, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
