If you are interested in accomodating this fringe situation, I will then accept a patch on the lines Paul has proposed (with a mandatory testcase, otherwise it would be far too easy to regress in such a almost-never-excercised corner case). But note that most likely I'm not going to write such a patch myself for the moment. Regards, Stefano
