Hi Marcus!

Ah, thanks, didn't know about that one. Now I see that it's mentioned
in passing in the LW reference manual. I wouldn't call that
"documented", though... :)

However, this will only help with instances created by SELECT but not
with newly created instances from MAKE-INSTANCE when *DB-AUTO-SYNC* is
true.

Hmm...

Thanks anyway,
Edi.
