Hi Christian,

I'm sorry you haven't received any reply about this until now.
As so much time has elapsed and there wasn't a complete test case
in the original report (certainly a script with just those 'use' lines
doesn't have any problems) I'm writing to ask whether you still have this
problem, or whether we can close the report.

Thanks,
Dominic.
