Thanks, I figured that was the one. As for upgrading to 1.0.26 ALA, we haven't got to it yet, and it requires a little QA testing before we throw it in. Pulse is getting sed testing atm, so whilst 1.0.26 wille ventually l and, I need to solve this bug now, and then move onto 1.0.26.

Unfortunately it seems that I still get a crash with that patch included. Traceback attached.
