Ok, thanks for the update.

BTW, once you have a reproducible test I imagine the mm folks will
already be very interested and they may be able to help out by
answering your questions and indicating what's likely and unlikely to
work in fixing it.

Actually, that goes even if you don't have a reproducible test. ;-)

Thanks for your persistence working on this so far, btw.
