Paul,
Give that Man a score of Eleven out of Ten.  An absolutely wonderful catch.

That was indeed the problem, now fixed.

Much appreciated, thanks

Dave

Nb: Interestingly, many previous experiments showed it was a RISC OS 6.20
problem, and that it didn't happen on any RISC OS 4.39 installs I tested.

Nor even a RPCEmu and RISC OS 5.31.

Neither RISC OS 4.39 or RISC OS 5.3nn have that Pinboard configure option.
