Yeah.  That may be a bug in kayak itself.

Hmmmm...

... I'm not sure, and my Kayak knowledge has always been shaky.

I'm trying to get r151012 ready, so I'll make DAMNED sure Kayak works on there, but I'm not sure how to fix the 010 version.  Eric or Dale, may, however.

Sorry I can't help more fully,
