Hi,

Since neither Michelle nor myself could reproduce this problem I tagged it
as 'unreproducible'. Please provide info suggested by Michelle and/or
myself. If no further info is provided in some time, either by you or by
others experiencing a similar problem, bug will be closed (of course, it can
be re-opened in case problem persists).

Cheers
