Evil Jay:
First thank you for the longish explanation of your problem. However,
posting it here may not get it fixed. Can you file a bug report in
Bugzilla after checking if a report already exists. Also, can you
update the Applications Database with your findings? I don't want your
hard work to be lost in the mailing list/forum shuffle.
Thank you.
