Thanks for the explanation. Now that I understand the problem, I will fix it
since I am currently working on log_accum + prop_commit. I was just worried
that it could be something deeper. I think the actual addrress of the person
who makes the commit is available to prep_commit without looking into the SQL
table (it sent me back an error log to my actual address!). I'll see what I
can do.
Best regards,
