Hi Matt,

I see the bug in mantis, please add a note to that bug with the
following additional info--

1. Note the faulty version of app_rpt you tested with in mantis

2. Please verify if it is broken in the latest version of app_rpt.c
(version 0.197 8/13/2009) To compile a new version of app_rpt,
refer to the procedure here:
