Yup. I've seen it too, and got pretty frustrated.

I was going to try to contact SCO about it, but I think I moved on to
other things and forgot about it.

If you have a good dealer who can present the problem to SCO, then
please go ahead, and let me know what you learn.

If you'd rather, write me back, and I'll throw it at my dealer, who
seems to know how to get good answers out of SCO.
