Ljubomir,

Thanks for digging into the details and sharing those with us. While 
everybody comes across self-inflicted problems, few report those back, 
which is essential to get closure.

Plus it might help someone along the line as well, thanks to Google 
indexing and mailinglist archives.

Kind regards,
