Right, now it works, but I see you already released it !!!
on Sunday morning !!! (Saturday night for me)

You're definitively welcome... getting a bug fix in 6 hours, (counting the 
Australian early morning), and a new release 1.5 hours later, during a 
weekend is much more than I ever got from any other software company, 
including support contracts with big ones.

BTW, we also bought a year ago (together with the Radiator license), one year 
of Radiator Support by mail... We haven't used it even once, since the 
support through this mailing list is really superb.
