I agree, and I've seen the same issue with the local client falling over 
when we try that.  At this point I'm just trying to solve a problem that I 
got brought into late in the process.

Part of the reason for the original posting is that I feel like I'm 
missing some documentation, besides the source code, that might have 
additional information beyond the man page.  I may be wrong, but I just 
want to confirm that one way or the other.

thanx

You need only two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and
it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
