It appears to work normally. I have no idea if it is leaking memory  
while in use, nor do I even know how to monitor that. Does anyone  
have any pointers for this, or any ideas as to what could be causing  
this? Could it be due to the 6.0 -> 6.1 upgrade? Does anyone out  
there have this working with their 6.0-STABLE that is in 6.1-PRERELEASE?

Thanks again for all of your help.
