I have looked through my archives, and couldn't find a fix for this problem,
although I did find that the problem was reported by another user.  I think he
solved the problem by upgrading to V5.8.  I would strongly urge you to upgrade
to V5.8 or 5.9 as soon as you can.  If you can't get the sources anywhere over
there, let me know and perhaps we can arrange for me to mail them to you.  I
suspect that will be less painful than debugging the current problem you are
having. :-)
