This happened to me dozens of times. It is often hard to think of it, but we should make it a habit to copy the original error message to the scratch buffer (or to a temporary buffer in vim) before we attempt to fix or investigate problems ourselves. If we find out it was a pilot error, just hit delete. If it's a real bug, you have something to show off to the maintainer (or to rub it in his face, depending on your temper :-). regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
