I'll have a look. I did try it briefly under 2.2.15, and got about the
same result. I didn't try it again, as that's my workstation! But it'll
be something simple. You just have to persuade me to boot my laptop
in 2.2.20 instead of 2.5.7.

The code. Something is just slightly enough wrong in 2.2.* that it
hurts. It needs someone to go in and look, and I suppose that's me ...
I'll do it as soon as my office cools down enough to think. It's got
hot here.
