Thats the exact situation I have - it seems to depend on the order of 
types? of cards you enter, so, if you add them in the order you want, 
you'll get that 'card 0' problem.  My solution is as you suggest - just 
delete the cardid 0 from cardinput.  I know it's not 
supported/advised/approved...but after several weeks, I've not seen any 
ill affects from it.
