Thanks ... I confirmed that your fix does actually work.  Mysteriously,
this is what it produces as output:

Zone list for zone 0 on node 0: [0/Normal] [0/Normal] 
Zone list for zone 1 on node 0: [0/Normal] [0/Normal] 
Zone list for zone 0 on node 1: [0/Normal] [0/Normal] 
Zone list for zone 1 on node 1: [0/Normal] [0/Normal] 

Which is correct

James
