Thanks for the reply Joe, i was starting to tear my hair out on this,
i'll read the doc and submit a bug report.

Is there a way of downloading an old svn, eg 14565 to downgrade this,
i browsed through the svn directories for 14565, but couldn't see
an obvious way to get the 14565 (or earlier) source.
