No, it's got nothing to do with the module that pened the lister in the
first place. Did you install the fixed version, the first upload was
incomplete.

So did I, but closing and opening does appear to cure some problems.

This is what I used to do, but it meant selecting the parent, freeing
the caches and selecting the directory again. I've now added cache
flushing to the script. Add a 'command freecaches' between the lister
close and lister open lines.
