I'm sorry to hear that, but in a way it's nice that it's not just me!

Ok, this is a little bit embarassing - that's where mine are too. It
must have been a typo. Thanks for clearing this up.

That's exactly what I've found. Thanks Mark for the pointer!

Well, it's annoying me, if only because I was getting quite proud of my
system's growing uptime. I guess that's what you sacrifice for using
software under active development. In general, I love getting frequent
updates & new features, so as long as I can keep it all working with
workarounds then I'm happy.
On the other hand, this can't be the right behaviour, and it needs to be
fixed. I have absolutely no idea what the fix would be. If someone knows
of a way that this can be done *without rebooting* then I'd be very
grateful. Maybe I should sign up to the jack list, but I really don't
have time at the moment, there's just too much work to be done..
Thanks
Michael
