Except its not a file I have editted that is causing the problem, they are 
all behaving fine.

Things are a bit slow at this end due to other tasks and I am running out of 
time before I am back home away from my Vista machine at my parents so this 
may have to be put on hold as getting back to the original problem place is 
taking longer than I though and producing meaning full results from 
examining source will take a while.

Hopefully I will have some results soon...
