Re: [Wrapper-user] Problems with 3.5.7 under Windows XP

[Karel V. <ka...@ou...>]

Good news: I managed to reproduce it.
The bad news is that I have no idea how I did it...

If you would be interested in obtaining access to the machine, please
contact me off-list. (We could give you access to this virtual machine
or I could simply export the vmware image - but that would be a lot of
data to send over).

Regards,
Karel
