Right, maybe my first message wasn't clear. (I have a problem with that
sometimes... *grin*)  I was saying there might still be problems with the
simple ignore fix in the current composite and that the problem may be
gone in your current mods in that area, or it might not.  If it's gone,
then all is well... If we get a trace and find that whatever caused it is
still in your current mods, then they can get fixed and improve it even
more.
