Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the explanation.  Can I assume that you will be following up on this?  If not, I’ll understand — bandwidth is in short supply for all of us.  Should I file a bug report — if so, to what package?  Sadly, I don’t have the expertise to follow up on it myself, so I have to rely on friendly experts such as yourself.

Thanks again, for all the good work you do!
Rick
