I fully agree Andy. I'm very eager to fix your bug which I thought *was*
totally fixed in 2.0.5. If at all possible, please attach a document which
is just about to go "bad", and see if you can induce some actions that
will cause the doc to exhibit the bad behavior.
Thanks very much for your interest. It's by fixing these sorts of bugs we
get to where we want to be.
