Will do.  I have to work tomorrow, so I may not be able to work on this 
until after work tomorrow or the next day.  The good news is:  I don't 
have to work again until January, so I will have plenty of time to work 
on this after tomorrow!  :)

I didn't mean to hijack Miles' bug report, here.  Let me know if the 
issue I am describing is different enough from his, and I (or you) can 
start a new report.  (Not that you want more _new_ bug reports....)
