Paul Hubs and torque values

hey everybody, so i didn't get to enjoy the new paul hubs wheelset for very long. the second day i had the hubs, the rear non drive side locknut broke in half. i don't know how, i'm still dumbfounded by it. i also couldn't get the half still on the hub off. at any rate, i sent the wheel back to spicer (where i got them) and gene fixed me up, going through paul and i just got the wheel back today. needless to say, i'm a little paranoid it'll happen again. i usually tighten all my axle nuts down to 20 - 23 footpounds, with a torque wrench. the pauls have the allen bolt, like the phil woods. for those of you that have these type hubs, what do you torque the bolts down to? i would think it wouldnt vary much from a standard track axle nut, but am i wrong? i've never had a problem, and i really don't want to break another locknut. thanks.
