OK - now this is bizarre - after days of it not working on Squeeze, it
decided to work today when I tested. All right, who changed things while
I wasn't looking! I'll give Windows a test later but I do know I wasn't
imagining this and we had another tester confirm the same phenomenon.
I'll check again with them, too.  Thanks - John
