Hi Kernel Guys,
When I wrote my reply to Graham I thought to myself "Ok, the only possibility left is that the file is generated automatically and fo r some reason that failed on my system but that is unlikely and, after all, I must leave some window for people to flame me and... it seems to be the case" :) Nobody flamed me though, that is good.
Regards, Tigran.
