    It happens to the best of us ... We had a Gremlin (small problem) that was difficult to track down...

    A small percentage of edge cases where after BETSI was installed, a 'Registration' Error would appear when the app was started. This problem was not stopping BETSI from working but gave a wrong indication of the problem.
