So I take it that's a no then on looking at/fixing the DRRS bug? Please 
don't get me wrong; as said to Arun as well, I have no experience with 
either this code or really anything concerning this technology even: I 
am assuming I'm missing something when I couldn't figure out why the 
DRRS disable CTL existed when the system activated it again immediately 
anyway.

I am/was trying that help that user, and maybe you guys as to having 
this issue on the map; that already reported bug is 4 year's old, so it 
didn't seem to otherwise have a lot of traction.

Kind regards,
Rene
