I just checked out the CVS. Yes, your solution is more universal. I simply
wasn't sure what were the implications without digging much deeper into the
code so my proposed solution was simply a well isolated "hack" to expose the
problem while limiting its impact on the overall functionality. Thanks for
making this more transparent!

I will check this shortly and will let you know if it works as expected (I
anticipate it will).

Best wishes,
