Hi Joseph:

We track bugs in bugzilla, here:

http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/AccessGrid

I did tell you that we were aware of a problem with
vic.  There was a bug report regarding this problem,
and a patch submitted to address it, and testing to
confirm that it worked:

http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/accessgrid/show_bug.cgi?id=1228

If you're seeing behavior different from what's described
in the bug report, it would be helpful if you could do some
testing to determine how the behavior is different, and attach
your results to bug 1228. 

I've regarded this problem as fixed, so if it's not, I'd like
to know.

Thanks,
Tom
