I'm slightly stunned that using -d worked at all, ever. It certainly
wouldn't work as expected.

Anyway, I'm relieved you got to the bottom of it.

I know I've been saying this a lot, but I'm sorry for the upheaval
that's been going on, and I hope everyone understands that we wouldn't
be doing all this if we weren't sure of the necessity.

And I really appreciate you (and others) sticking with us to work
through these issues.

Regards,

Chris
