Hi,

I never got any replies to this query. This makes me think that I am
the only person experiencing the problem, which is a little worrying,
since I can't see anything I am doing that is causing it.

Any clarification would be helpful, even if is just that I am the only
one experiencing the problem.

Thanks.                                                         Faheem.
