Thank you for putting some time in to testing and producing an excellent problem report. I have not put as much time into testing and polishing the DDF implementation as I would have liked, partly because there doesn't really seem to be much interest. But reports like this make it a whole lot more interesting. I will try to look at this some time soon and let you know what I find in the code - feel free to remind me if you haven't heard in a week.
