Hallo Colin

Thanks for your reply. I tried doing this but without success. 
Eventually I found one solution: replacing v2.2.3 with v2.1.15
makes the problem go away. This solution works consistently
on two servers, so rather than play around with the "latest
and greatest" version I'll just use the one that works.
