I should think that cold has been round most of London by now! If it's 
the same one that's been round our office for the last 6 weeks it's 
evil. I had it for 2-3 weeks and my wife was off work with it for over 
a week. I think everyone in the office had it at some point.

Get well soon!

I'm sure we can come up with something suitable for the TRACE macros 
which will compile out on release builds.

Cheers,

Martin.
