Hey Rich-

Well, we figured you'd forget to subset, so we were just being pre-emptive. ;-)

Thanks for finding that.  We were checking this even when we were just getting 
metadata like the levels.  It will be fixed in the next nightly build.

> I tried this in IDV 2.7 and had the same behavior.    IDV 2.4 (the
