Yes this happens all the time but is definatly only in the annoying
category of bugs.

I put it down to first code cut I'm sure it will improve with time,
as others move to Solaris 7. If I had the skill (or time) I would 
try to fix the code as it's in PERL, it but I don't have either :-)

Don't forget how much you pay for the software!
