Would be good if you pointed out *how* it fails - it doesn't look as if it
should have a problem with such a layout (and hence if it does I'd think
it should be fixed). I'll try it out myself once I can get to it, but it's 
unlikely
that this would be earlier than next week.

And (after having read you follow up mail) I'd think flattening the structure
isn't the right thing to do.
