At the time, we only had that one known case of the problem to give to IFI as an example, which limited the options for investigation of the problem. As of this afternoon, IFI is aware that the problem may be larger, and is looking in to it. We have pointed them to this thread for more information.

Dave,

Well, I'm pretty confident it has nothing to do with my code for several reasons. The first, and most important, is that Mark has duplicated the problem using IFI's own default code.
