Hi Seb,

I find this email difficult to parse.  Could you take some extra time in
composition of these emails to distill the problem/question into a small
clear statement of a couple of sentences with a single <10 line example.

There is simply too much content below and without investing a great
deal of time I don't know which parts are germane to your question.

Thanks -- Eric
