you're right, again! :-)

here's a quick patch (I've tested and it seems to work, but I'll perform 
more tests).  This is against the version I'm working on, so the lines 
might be different from the one in version 2.17, but you should be able 
to correct the problem with this patch.

hope to hear from you soon

cheers
