The worst problem with this bug is the time I wasted trying to figure it out; it's too bad this wasn't already documented somewhere Google could find. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
