If you read Tony Renshaw's original mail message again, the problem was
directly related to a user modification to add vent holes into the rear
fuselage. Close these or don't fit them and there is no problem.
It would seem that fitting vent holes through the rear bulkhead was the cause
of the problem so it would be a good idea to allow some other form of
extraction venting will be required if you want more airflow.
