I'll give it a whirl, when I'm feeling brave enough to risk a repetition

I'd already deduced that from the helpful comments in the blacklist
file ;) But thanks - nevertheless, having done that it didn't seem to
make any difference to where the sungem module was allocated - it's

Looking forward to doing it all again with TC2 ;)
Thanks again
