Sorry for replying to my own message - but I may have been
too hasty in reporting this.
While I could reliably reproduce this fault in two versions of the
OS build, I haven't in a further two. The error may have come
from the CHAOS init; as getting two other errors fixed has
coincided with this correction.
I'll report if the error recurrs -- sorry for the mis-info.
Regards,
