  Or indeed just trying again with the latest version (2.573.2.3) if that's
not what you were already using.  We fixed a number of bugs in this area, but
it's always possible more remain; if it does turn out to be your bash.lst.gz,
please send me a copy of the one you save (moving it out of the way, don't
delete it) and I'll see if there's a fix.

    cheers,
