I showed you what was presented on screen to the user.  Not sure if I
understand what you're asking at this point.

I don't use windows for editing unix files. I may have copy and pasted, etc.

You may have lost me again, with the recompile statement.  This install
was build from src, as well as all installed ports.  That being said, ELF
was a native install; I didn't see any instructions for recompiling it for

I won't doubt that.  I find it strange that it worked once/twice then
stopped.  There have been no upgrades, updates or patches to any
system/ports files.

I will remove and reinstall the plugin.
