Lars,

It seems I have heard similar reports before, but digging through my bug
list I don't see anything on this problem.  Could you file a bug report
in bugzilla and ensure it is assigned to me?  Also, make sure you include
all the information I need to reproduce the problem.  If it uses the Itasca
dataset(s) you should point me to them.

Thanks,
