Thanks for all the responses....Dr. Blinn noted that it has been
confirmed that a patch is the problem though it is not known as of right
now which one. I fixed the problem by reading in an old version of find
which was on backup just before pk3 was applied and it works as
expected. I only have pk3 on a production machine so i simply dont have
time to take it down right now and figure out which patch caused the
problem. Hopefully HP will come out with a fix to the problem shortly.
