Causing ima_template_setup to quit. Right, which calls ima_init_template_list(). So part of the solution could be to conditionally call ima_init_template_list() in ima_template_setup(). - if (ima_template) - return 1; - - ima_init_template_list(); + if (!ima_template + ima_init_template_list(); Roberto, what do you think? thanks, Mimi
