Thanks for your response (although it doesn't seem to have made it
to the archive yet - perhaps because I used google groups?).
It's good to know that the problem is reproducible.
I'll go back to using 1.8.3 for the moment.
Do you think this bug needs advertising more widely somehow?
Our backup procedure relies on hotcopy and, if I hadn't discovered
this during my testing, we could have ended up having no useable
backups which is a scary thought.
Thanks,
David Matthews
