AHA !
Maybe that's why my rock-solid host application is behaving wierd !
Can you tell me what file you edited, approximately what line number,
etc., ?
If this fixes it I'm not going to be very happy for awhile, and then I'm
going to be happy since it works good again, then I'll be sad because I
won't have any more problems to fix, then I'll be happy 'cause I can go
home and my wife will love me again, and so on...
If I'm lucky, fixing it will break something else, but that will be for
another day !!!
