PAC bug

I'm going to assume that turning this off makes it go away? Please capture the PAC file. You can use TELNET if you don't have anything fancy. http://frame.packetgram.com/pktg/docs/net/telnetport.html#http

Seems to be fixed with CVS version dated 0.0.20010612.07

Tobais: thanks for the update. Somehow, I missed this in my bugmail. If you stil use the .pac file, we would like to add it to our collection (you can put it in an attachment...)

Here comes the PAC file for your collection. Thanks for the support!
