Thanks.... I reopened it asking if it could be released as an FC5 
update.... it's not critical to me at this point, I've already worked 
around the issue with another solution. But, since there are no special 
requirements/dependencies for this fix, I don't see why it should wait 
until FC6 before being distributed. I don't necessarily expect it to be 
retrofitted to FC4,3,2 etc, but FC5 is "current" and I'd rather see 
fixes sooner than later. :-)
