Hi Rich: We are seeing this error in various places, and its always "Inconsistent array length read: 1165128303 != 1914731274" so those lengths dont actually have anything to do with the data value - its some other bug. the fact that its intermittent is weird. if you see it again, please let me know, especially is it seems to be reproducible. thanks! > John, > > Bizarre.
