However, I have no idea which one(s) of the 7,000 is/are guilty, nor any idea how to find out. Someone more clever than I might be able to tell from the crash reports or the ValGrind created files that I have submitted, but I certainly have no idea how to do so.<br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 5/14/11, Risto H.
