Got it. I've been swapping between contribution styles so got a little confused. I'm going to reissue all of the patches required for the NonStop port later tonight or tomorrow, once the test suite run is finished. I'll take everyone's comments into account for that. Thanks for your (and everyone else's) guidance.

Cheers, Randall
