[mv] MV4.04 - Static build with scan problems

Hi all,

I'm having a little trouble getting the static build feature to work like I 
think it should.  Static pages built for individual products (through 
flypage or otherwise) work great.  But, static pages for the one-click 
searches don't seem to work for me.

Does this work properly for anyone else? Or is it a known problem?

The archives indicate that their were problems with static build in earlier 
releases of MV4, but it wasn't clear if these have been fixed or not.

I'm using a clean copy of the simple demo on the following platform:
MV 4.04
Redhat 6.0
Perl 5.003_03

I've put "[tag flag build][/tag]" in both flypage.html and results.html.

When I run the build process, everything looks ok.  The seemingly right 
values get stored in "pages/.static" (I turned off StaticDBM to get a 
better look at what was going on).

After restarting MiniVend, if I click on an individual product link, I go 
into the static pages.  Seems right.

But, if I click on a one-click search (Abstracts category for example), I 
don't go to the static page for that search (ie. 'scan1.html').  It does a 
regular dynamic search again.

Now it gets stranger.  If I click on an individual product link to go into 
the static pages, and THEN click on a one-click search, it DOES use the 
static 'scan1.html' file, BUT it doesn't return the proper search results.

Thanks for any suggestions or info.
