Subject: Re: What is wrong?

Hello, all.

I am really sorry for the silence - I was on the business trip and 
returned today.

I will recheck everything and try. Meanwhile, the news are not good: our 
guys say that it appears that the additional sync DOES NOT SOLVE the 
issue.
I ask for excuse, but as I did not know the exact processing, I was 
mistaken and, probably, used already gc-ted unit for tests.

Sorry, again.

BR
