That would be excellent, we'd just have to make sure that Richard and
I have time to work through this at the right moment. Would you be
leaving XOs there for a day or two, or would you need to take them
away with you when you leave a couple of hours later?

We won't be able to diagnose anything if we can't reproduce the
problem of course, and it sounds like that at least today you are
having trouble hitting this. That would complicate things.
