Thanks, Carl, will do. You and RH have done an awesome job in
designing, coding, and re-tailoring these frames. Still, there will
always be some contingencies (and some of those, like this one, not
really falling into the esoteric category) that you just could not have
anticipated. So, it's a good thing to have a number of users pushing
them pretty hard in real-world situations, and reporting back.
