Excessive recursion error with plussed addresses

[William K. Hardeman]

Duh. I was so wrapped up in the problem, I didn't think about that little 
bit of logicality. Couldn't see the forest for the trees, basically.

Thanks for pointing this out. It resolved my problem when I removed the 
domain part from the RHS of my virtusertable.

Thanks,
Will
