  I wouldn't expect to turn up a bug in the combo.  It would be more likely a  
  weirdness from running them in a VirtualBox.

  Same, same... each morning... ermm, your night.  ;-)  Actually, it was the  
  timing of the maint that provided something of a clue.  The 'problem'  
  surfaced  
  only after a maintenance run, apparently.  
    
  Thanks for your note.  
    
  Cheers,  
  Paul.
