Thanks to the name dropping, I managed to find the patch on Ryan K.'s page
(http://www.rkirkpat.net/), and it has fixed the problems I was having.
Many thanks for the pointer :-)

There were a couple of rejected sections in the patch, but they were
easily applied by hand. If wanted, I can chuck a copy of the diff vs. 7.0
on an ftp site, or post it to this list.
