This may well be the problem that I posted a fix for last summer. My
fix made it to the harvesters' list, but a few weeks ago was still on
the list to be reviewed, so I think it's been forgotten.
Check the squeak fix or squeak-dev list archives for a BMP fix I
posted sometime in June-August of 2001, and let me know if that fixes
your problem. If you can't find it, email me and I'll dig it out and
repost it within a few days.
