Texture Supports disappearing when freezing...

Hi,

So I'm working on the most complex model I've ever worked on,
and its all a single polymesh. I've used several local texture supports
(currently 4) to apply different textures to different clusters on my model.
It's starting to look pretty good.

Now I start working on placing my next texture and I notice that
some details in the polymesh geometry are screwed up. So I tweak some
points around, add a couple edges, dissolve some edges. Looks good.

Now I'm looking in the XSI explorer at my polymesh (and my
associated clusters) and I see all the ops from my tweaking. I would like
to simplify the polymesh and lose those ops. so I hit freeze. suddenly all
the texture supports vanish. Yikes! Undo that freeze.

So is there a way to collapse the ops in the polymesh without
losing the texture supports that I've been making/adjusting for so long?

Thanks for any help!
