Here's something interesting. Got in this morning to discover it was doing
exactly the opposite again, truncating by one. reversed my change from
yesterday and it came right again. Very strange, but I submit that it must
have been (somehow, I don't know how) an old file lying around somewhere
which caused the difficulty. Until further information comes to hand, I
recommend that it be considered a mistake in config by me. Apologies.

Richard.
