I had been meaning to look into this, but along with being busy and tired I am 
less familiar with internals in this area than Andras. I asked him to reply 
to this while we were at akademy and he said he would but the servers were 
seriously bogged down there. He's on a family vacation for a week now which 
is why I could not get to visit him in Romania this year. Please post again 
in a week if you haven't heard back.
