Ahhh, that's the solution. :-) I somehow thought, that I would have to use
## to combine the two and 2.95 happyly did the right thing with it. Only
when upgrading to 3.3 I suddenly ran into this problem. But you're perfectly
right... simply leaving the ## out solves the problem! Many thanks, I would
never have guessed, that the solution is that easy!!!

Thanks,
Marc
