OK. I have currently 8.4 and TCPIP 5.7 ECO3 in my office/hobbyist
system, but I do not know what is needed to run a reproducer. And
I do not think that I have the right server to run against.

If you do have some publicaly reachable server system, I could
give you access to my 5.7 ECO3 system if you'd like to run
some tests.

B.t.w, I'm on Alpha, I do not remember what you where running
(of if it matters).

Anyway,
thanks for your clarifications about "Engineering image". :-)

Jan-Erik.
