Dear Joshua,
Thanks very much, fiddling with the typesetter behavior completely
solved the problem, and my project is now back on track. Thanks a
million for the help, one question, how did you find out about this,
I mean where should I go read so that I do not run into issues like
this again ?
Thanks
Vincent
