Works like a charm.  Thanks.

I checked, and it looks like there is already a report for this:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323770

However, it says that the issue was resolved in svn as of 2007-03-28
(before the 1.0 release).  Do you think I should re-open it (not sure if
I can even do that), or start a new bug?
