Fair enought.

Nope these would all be bugs; of one flavor or another. can you give us 
some clues as to what was happening when you experienced these glitches.

I have not heard of your company before; looks like you guys do some 
interesting work. If you need anything specific please give us a call, 
and for bugs such as the above let's work though them on the email list 
here and see if we can isolate them.

A couple of questions; are you *just* using PostgreSQL; or were you 
working with shapefiles and WMS layers at the same time. Were you 
editing at the time (my usual source of redraw difficulties).  Out of 
all the ones you listed above I am really interested in getting a stack 
trace for (c) above.

Cheers,
