Thank you for running this test Brian.

This is consistant with the reports I have received from support over
the last few hours that they cannot reproduce it in V5.7 ECO 3 but can
only reproduce it in the Engineering images they sent me.

On the plus side, this means the problem does not appear to be in
any public ECO kit. On the down side, it looks like the Engineering
images have a nice new file truncation bug in them...

(I'm assuming here that once they find a bug in one supported version,
they still check for the same bug in all supported versions.)

Thanks once again,

Simon.
