I have just tried:
DLL version: 1.5.20
...
Build date: Sun Jun 4 16:35:33 EDT 2006
Snapshot date: 20060604-16:33:54
And I find it has fixed the problem. Thanks!
Is there any indication as to how long before 1.5.20 will be fully
released? I don't want to risk running under a CVS snapshot except for
this test.
