Dear Dirk,

Please do not get me wrong.

Yes, I am doing it the wrong way and I am doing it since about eight 
years. Nevertheless I am still allowed to be confused when something 
suddenly happens which did not happen before during all these years.

Doing it correctly will solve the problem, but it will not explain this 
behavior which suddenly popped up.

Best regards,
Christian
