Hi Anselm,

Many thanks for sorting this problem out! Definitely Java's fault then.
I'm also shocked at the way they implemented the backend, very
amateurish.

I happen to work on a large space project where we have chosen to do all
our data processing in Java, so I'm stuck with this problem (although WM
details are not really something we worry about). I'm quite happy with
Java othwerise, but let's not get into a discussion on its merits here!

cheers,
Anthony
