Yep... Sorry to be so slow on the update (and the suggestions)... (:-/)
The fix *is* in place in the newer image -- I checked.
Unfortunately the update process is pretty slow with my setup (a couple
of hours usually by the time I do the download, unpack it, copy it to stick,
and run an Install), so I tend to put it off. And then of course I have to
fix those broken links and overwritten settings from my custom changes.
I'm in action again now, anyway.
Cheers,
