There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers:-) Seriously: thanks 
for the report! In this specific case I already knew about the problem 
(the "experimental" database is currently nothing more than the entries 
in database used for 2.3b1 that I didn't get around to testing yet). 
But: I'd rather get 10 reports for things I already know than miss one 
for something I don't yet know.

I will try to get most items from the experimental database into the 
real one over the next 2 or 3 days.
