Thanks Ludo, I've not seen that on either 0.9.30 or trunk... it sounds 
very much as though I've got a batch of screwed projects, due to moving 
onto trunk when I was having to use 2.7.1 because of SPARC problems. I 
think I should probably have a local policy of never committing a 
project if it's been saved by trunk.
