container elements settings

Ah, I meant that it appeared random to us at the time, but could have bee=
n
your problem and we simply didn't notice the import/export bit.
 
Raised eyebrows or not - a retransport might just work, I'd suggest givin=
g it
a go (and let us know if it worked). Appparently it's got something to do=
 with
an incorrect import sequence that can creep in in some circumstances.
 
I also just checked the message on a 620 system - the message I get is si=
mply
an info message - so nothing is broken.
 
Cheers
Mike
