Thanks for that Wojciech,

I have tried that patch, still has same outcome in same place. Also both
with and without that patch I had it crashes on /loading/ the module
without the patch below (that I made to make it work), let me know if
this is the wrong solution.

I have also tried the patch from Bob Copeland and one from Bruno
Randolf, both below (and were posted to the list). They looked like they
may possibly fix the problem, they didn't though :(
Would there be any more that you would suggest.
